I have a total of rs.300 in coins of denomination rs.1, rs. 2 and rs. 5. The number of rs. 2 coins is 3 times the number of rs. 5 coins. The total number coins is 160. How many coins of each denomination are with me?​

Answer:

Number of rs 1= 80

Number of rs 2=60

Number of rs 5=20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the total number of coins as 160 and their value as Rs 300. Let the number of Rs 5 coin be [tex]x[/tex]

#Given that Rs 2 is 3x Rs 5:

-The number of Rs 2=[tex]3x[/tex], so the number of Rs 1 is calculated as:

[tex]n_1+n_2+n_3=160\\\\n_1+x+3x=160\\\\n_1=160-4x[/tex]

Amounts for each coin is:

[tex]1(160-4x)=160-4x\\\\2\times 3x=6x\\\\5\times x=5x\\\\\therefore 160-4x+5x+6x=300\\7x=140\\\\x=20[/tex]

#Substitute the x for each denomination to find it's number:

[tex]n_1=160-4(20)=80\\\\n_2=3(20)=60\\\\n_5=x=20[/tex]

Hence,

#Number of rs 1= 80

#Number of rs 2=60

#Number of rs 5=20
