__________

Given that,

25p, 10p and 50p coins are in a bag amounting to 235.

Also their ratio is 5 : 9 : 4 .

Let the number of 25p, 10p and 5p coins be 5x, 9x and 4x respectively.

By condition,

$\implies$ 25 × 5x + 10 × 9x + 5 × 4x = 235

$\implies$ 125x + 90x + 20x = 235

$\implies$ 235x = 235

$\implies$ x = 1

Hence, the number of 5p coins were

= 4x = 4 × 1 = 4

.°. No. of 5p coins = 4 .
