Question 511713: There are one hundred fifty coins, all in 25 cents and 50 cents. If the number of 25 cent coins is ten more than three times the number of 50 cents, find the number of each kind of coin Answer by SUNIL1987MAURYA(7) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let no. of 50 cents coin be x
then no. of 25 cents coin=3*x+10
so
x+3*x+10=150
4*x=150-10
x=140/4
x=35
therefore
no. of 50 cents coin=35
& no. of 25 cents coin=35*3+10=115
