I have one-rupee coins, 50-paisa coins and 25-paisa coins. The number of coins are in the ratio 2.5 : 3 : 4. If the total amount with me is Rs. 210, find the number of one-rupee coins.
Explanation:
Since the number of coins are in the ratio 2.5 : 3 : 4, the values of the coins will be in the ratio (1 × 2.5) : (0.5 × 3) : (0.25 × 4) = 2.5 : 1.5 : 1 or 5 : 3 : 2 Since they totally amount to Rs. 210, if the value of each type of coins are assumed to be 5x, 3x and 2x, the average value per coin will be 21010x.
So the total value of one-rupee coins will be 5×21010x = Rs. 105
So the total number of one-rupee coins will be 105.
