Question

N a bag, there are coins of 25 p, 10 p and 5 p in the ratio of 1 : 2 : 3. if there is rs. 30 in all, how many 5 p coins are there?

Answer 1

Let the number of 25p coins be x Number of 10p coins be 2xNumber 5p coins be 3x 25x + 20x + 15x=3000060x =30000X = 5000Hence number of 5p coins are 3×5000=15000

Answer 2

Answer:

150

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of 25 p, 10 p and 5 p coins be x, 2x, 3x respectively

Then, sum of their values

=> Rs. ( 25*x/100 + 10*2x/100 + 5*3x/100) = 30

=> Rs. (25x / 100 + 20x / 100 + 15x / 100)  30

=> Rs. (60x/100) = 30

=> x = 30 * 100 / 60 = 100 / 20 = 50

=> x = 50

Hence,thenumberof5pcoins

=> 3x

=> (3×50)

=> 150
