Answer provided by our tutors
let
x = the number of rs.1 coins
y = the number of rs.2 coins
a money box contains rs.1 and rs.2 coins in the ratio of 5:6
x : y = 5 : 6
6x = 5y
the total value of coins in the box is rs.85
1*x + 2*y = 85
by solving the system of equations
6x = 5y
1*x + 2*y = 85
we find
x = 25 coins
y = 30 coins
