Answer. Given total number of coins = 80 Let the number of Rs 2 coins be x Therefore number of Rs 5 coins = (80 – x) Total amount in the purse = Rs 232 That is 2x + 5(80 – x) = 232 2x + 400 – 5x = 232 400 – 232 = 3x 168 = 3x x = 56 80 –x = 80 – 56 = 24 Thus there are 56 coins of Rs 2 and 24 coins of Rs 5 SME Approved
