Question

Saurabh has Rs 34 fifty paise and twenty five paise coins if the number of 25paise coins be twice the number of 50paise coins how many coins of each kind does he have

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of 50 paise coins = 34

Number of 25 paise coins = 68

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of 50 paise coins be x.

Let the number of 25 paise coins be y.

x = 2 y  ( no: of 25 paise coins is twice the number of 50 paise coins)

0.25x + 0.50y = 34

(0.25) * 2y + 0.50y = 34

0.50y + 0.50y = 34

1y = 34

y = 34

x = 2y = 2 * 34 = 68

x = 68

y = 34
