Answer» Answer: Let the number of Rs 5 coins is x. Therefore, number of Rs 2 coins = 3x Let the number of Rs 1 coins is z TOTAL number of coins = 160 z + 3x + x = 160 Therefore, number of Rs 1 coins = 160 - 3x -x = 160 - 4x Total amount = 300 (160-4x) + 2 X (3x) + 5 X x = 300 160 - 4x + 6x + 5x = 300 160 + 7X = 300 7x = 300-160 = 140 x = 140/7 = 20 Therefore, number of Rs 1 coins = 160 - 4x = 160 - 4 X 20 = 160-80 = 80 number of Rs 2 coins = 3x = 3 X 20 = 60 number of Rs 5 coins = x = 20 Hope this helps you. |
