Problema Solution

Taha and tahla figure that the combined value of their coin collection is Rs189 . what is the value of each boy collection if tahla is valued at Rs 43 more than taha.

Answer provided by our tutors

let


x = the value of Taha's coin collection

y = the value of Tahla's coin collection


Taha and Tahla figure that the combined value of their coin collection is Rs189


x + y = 189


Tahla is valued at Rs 43 more than Taha


y = 43 + x


by solving the system of equations


x + y = 189

y = 43 + x


we find


x = Rs73


y = Rs116


The value of Taha's collection is Rs73 and the value of Tahla's collection is Rs116.
