Question

Savita has ₹27 in fifty-paise and twenty-five paise coins. She has twice as many
twenty-five paise coins as she has fifty-paise coins. How many coins of each kind does have
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

⇔Solution:-

→Let the number of 50 paise coins Savita has = x  

←So, the total value in rupees = 50 × x = 50x Rs.

Therefore, the number of 25 paise coins Savita will have = 2x because it is twice as many as 50 paise coins.

So, the total value in rupees = 25 × 2x = 50x

Total Money = 27 Rs or 2700 paise

Now, according to the question

50x + 50x = 2700

100x = 2700

x = 27

⇒So, the number of 50 paise coins Savita has = 27 coins

The number of 25 paise coins she has = 2 × 27 = 54 coins
