Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Correction:-
Vinny has Rs. 45 in 50 paisa and 25 paisa coins . 25 paisa coins is thrice the number of 50-paisa coins,how many coins of each kind does she have?
Solution :-
Let the number of 50 paisa coins be X
The value of all 50 paisa coins = 50×X
= 50X paisa
Then,
The number of 25 paisa coins
= Thrice the number of 50 coins
= 3X
The value of all 25 paisa coins
= 25×3X = 75x paisa
Total amount of Vinny = Rs. 45
We know that
1 Rupee = 100 paisa
=> 45 Rupees = 45×100 = 4500 Paisa
=> 50X+75X = 4500
=> 125X = 4500
=> X = 4500/125
=> X = 36
Number of 50 paisa coins = 36
If X = 36 then 3X = 3(36) = 108
Number of 25 paisa coins = 108
Answer:-
Number of 25 paisa coins = 108
Number of 50 paisa coins = 36
Check :-
Number of 25 paisa coins = 108
Value of all 25 paisa coins = 108×25 = 2700 paisa
= Rs. 27
Number of 50 paisa coins = 36
Value of all 50 paisa coins = 36×50 = 1800 paisa
= Rs. 18
Total amount = 27+18 = Rs. 45
