Question

There are as many 5p coins as 1p coins in the bag.

There are 640 coins in total.
Work out the number of 2p coins in the bag. Maths

Answer 1

160

Explanation:

In math, the word of means multiply. :)

3/8 * 640 = 240, so there are 240 1p coins.

there are the same number of 5P coins, so there are 240 5p.

640 - 1p - 5p = 2p

640-240-240 = 160, so there are 160 2p coins.
