Question 994365: a purse contains 3 times as many 20p coins as 1p coin. in total the purse contain 1.83 . how many of each coin are there?

x = number of 20p coins
y = number of 1p coins
x = 3y
20x + y = 183
Substitute the first equation into the second.
20(3y) + y = 183
61y = 183
y = 3
There are 9 20p coins and 3 1p coins.
