Answer 1

Let the number of 50 cents coins in the container be "x".

We know that the total number of coins in the container is 600, so we can write:

`x + 220 = 600`

Solving for x, we get:

`x = 600 - 220`

`x = 380`

Therefore, there are 380 50 cents pieces in the container.

Hope you can understand :)
