Final answer:

The total amount of money in toea with a mix of coins can be represented by the expression 5a + 10b + 50c. For the total cost of a record player costing KP and n items costing Q toea each, the expression is KP + nQ. To convert to Kina, divide by 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression showing the amount of money you have is:

(a x 5) + (b x 10) + (c x 50)

Let's say you have 3 five toea coins, 4 ten toea coins, and 2 fifty toea coins. To calculate the total amount of money, you can substitute these values into the expression:

(3 x 5) + (4 x 10) + (2 x 50) = 15 + 40 + 100 = 155 toea
