Question

In a bag the number of one rupees coins is three times the number of two rupees coins. If the worth of the coins is 120, find the number of one rupees coins

Answer 1

LET THE TWO RUPEES COIN BE = x
Then ONE RUPEES COIN WILL BE = 3x

ACCORDING TO THE QUESTION

2x + 1(3x) = 120
5x = 120
x = 120/5
x = 24

ONE RUPEES COIN = 3(24)
= 72

TWO RUPEES COIN= 24

Answer 2

then no. of one rupees coins are 3x

total money =rs120

2(x)+1(3x)=120

5x=120

x=24

3x=72

there are 72 one rupees coins
