Question 605648: Here is a coin problem that I think is IMPOSSIBLE to solve, here it goes,:
A coin sorting machine contains 50 coins in one PESO and two PESO denominations. The value of all the coins is 191 (Philippine PESO). Find the number of each denominations in the machine.
(There should be a representation)
Number Value in Peso
P1 X 1=X
P2 50-x 2(50-x)

Yes it is impossible because even if all 50 coins were 2 PESO coins,
there would be only 100 PESOS in value. So it is impossible that
there could be a value of 191 PESOS.
