Question

12 kids collected 5460 coins of ₹5. If they want to distribute the coins equally among themselves, how much money will each kid get?

• A. ₹1765
• B. ₹2275
• C. ₹3475
• D. ₹4235

Answer 1

The correct option is B ₹2275

Total number of coins = 5460
Total number of kids =12

To get number of coins collected by 1 kid, divide 5460 by 12.
By using long division method, we get
$$\begin{array}{c}455\\ 125460\\ -\underset{–}{48}2\\ 66\\ -\underset{–}{60}\\ 60\\ -\underset{–}{60}\\ 0\end{array}$$
Now to find the total money with each kid, we need to multiply number of coins with ₹5.

455
x ₹5
₹2275

So each kid has ₹2275.
