A bag contains 25 paisa and 50 paisa coins whose total value =24. If the number of 25 paisa coin is 4 times that of 50 paisa coins. find the number of coins?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
x = the number of 25 paisa coins
y = the number of 50 paisa coins
bag contains 25 paisa and 50 paisa coins whose total value =2400
25x + 50y = 2400
the number of 25 paisa coin is 4 times that of 50 paisa coins
x = 4y
by solving the system of equations
25x + 50y = 2400
x = 4y
we find
x = 64
y = 16
