Answer 2

Answer:

No. of 50 paisa coins = 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total money in box = Rs 180

           Denomination of coins are Rs. 1 , 50 paise , 25 paise

To find: No. of 50 paise coins

Total money in paise = 180 × 100 = 18000 paise

let No of Rs. 1 coin or 100 paise = 2x

No of 50 paise = 3x

No of 25 paise = 4x

According to question,

2x × 100 + 3x × 50 + 4x × 25 = 18000

200x + 150x + 100x = 18000

450x = 18000

x = $\frac{18000}{450}$

x = 40

Therefore, No. of 50 paisa coins = 3 × 40 = 120
