SHOW WORK PLS AND THE EQUATION

Answer 1

Let the number of 50p coins be x

and the number of 25p coins be 2x

Therefore,

Value of 50p coins = 50x p

and value of 25p coins = 2 * 25x p

= 50x p

Total value = Rs 34 = 34 * 100 p= 3400p

According to the question,

50x p + 50x p = 3400 p

=100x p = 3400p

= x = 3400p/100p

= x = 34

Therefore , number of 50p coins =34

and , number of 25p coins = 34 * 2 = 68
