The total value is £268.20.

Explanation:

Given : There are 495 coins in a bottle.

1/3 of the coins are £1 coins.

124 of the coins are 50p coins.

The rest of the coins are 20p.

To find : Work out the total value of the 495 coins?

Solution :

According to question,

Total coins = 495

`(1)/(3)` of the coins are £1 coins.

i.e. The number £1 coins are

`(1)/(3)* 495 =165`

So, We have £165

124 of the coins are 50p coins.

50p=£0.50

Number of coins were

`124*0.50 =62`

So, We have £62 .

Remaining coins were,

`495-(124+165)=206`

i.e. remaining coins are 206 are of 20p.

20p=£0.20

Number of coins were

`206*0.20 =41.20`

So, We have £41.20 .

Now, Adding all of them together,

i.e. £165+£62+£41.20=£268.20

So, The total value is £268.20.
