You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there
Number of coins = 25 coins
Type of coins = 53 Php
x + y = 25.......(1)
5x + y = 53......(2)
take (1) from (2)
4x = 28
x = 7
Substitute x = 7 in (1)
x + y = 25
7 + y = 25
y = 25 - 7
y = 18
7 x 5 peso coins and 18 x 1 peso coins
Hope this helps. :-)
Merry Christmas!
