Question

Rahul collected some 75 paise and 50 paise coins. The number of 50 paise coins is three times the 75 paise coins.
The total amount in his wallet is * 135. How many coins of each type has he collected?
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of 50 paise coins - Three times that if 75 paise

So, if we assume number of 75 paise coins as x,

Number of 50 paise coins = 3x

Therefore,

Total money Rahul has - ₹135

Let's convert ₹135 into paise

1 rupee = 100 paise

Therefore,

135 rupees = 13500 paise

So, we can say

x + 3x = 13500

= 4x = 13500

= x = 13500 ÷ 4

= x = 3375
