Here's a similar problem solved.
*****************************************************
I have 20 coins. All of them are either one pound or 50 pence coins. They are worth £11.00. How many pound coins and 50 pence coins do I have. (Algebra)

p = pound coins
f = 1/2 pound coins

p + f = 20
p + f/2 = 11
