Answer:
The number of coins in the bag = 6
The number of notes in the bag = 16
Explanation:
The ratio of coins to the notes = 3: 8
Now, let us assume in the given ratio, the COMMON FACTOR = m
So, the number of coins in the bag = 3 times (m) = 3 m
And, , the number of notes in the bag = 8 times (m) = 8 m
Also, total items in the bag = 22
⇒ Number of (Notes + Coins) = 22
⇒ 3 m + 8 m = 22
or, 11 m = 22
or, m = 22/ 11 = 2
⇒ m = 2
So, the common factor in the given ratio = 2
So, the number of coins in the bag = 3 m = 3 x 2 = 6
And the number of notes in the bag =8 x m = 8 x 2 = 16
