1. Solve using logical analysis
In accordance with the condition, you can group all the coins in the sets, containing (one 25-centavo and five 10-centavo coins) each.
Each the set is worth (25+5*10) = 75 centavo.
Hence, the number of sets is = 20.
It gives the
Answer. 20 of 25-centavo and 100 of 10-centavo.
Solved.
2. Algebra solution
There are x 25-centavo and 5x 10-centavo coins.
The money ("the value") equation is
25x + 10*(5x) = 1500 centavo, or
75x = 1500 ====> x = = 20,
which gives you the same answer.
Solved.
