Question

Seema is habitual of saving her pocket money. She collected some 50 paise and 25 paise coins in her piggy bank. If she collected Rs.25 and number of 50 paise coins is double the number of 25 paise coins. How many coins of each type did she collect? What values are being promoted? Is saving a good habit?

Answer 1

According to the question,

Let the number of 25 Paise coin = 2$x$

Therfore,

Number of 50 paise coin = 2$x$

Total money = Rs 25 $=25\times 100=2500$ paise

$25x+100x=2500$ paise

$125x=2500$ paise

$x=\frac{2500}{125}=\frac{100}{5}=20$

Since,

$x$=20

Number of 25 paise coin=$x$= 20

Number of 50 paise coin =2$x$ = $2\times 20=40$

And saving is very good habit.
