1)  

There are some coins in a box. The coins consist of 10-cent and 20-cent coins. There are thrice as many 10-cent coins as 20-cent coins. If the total amount of money in the box is 13, how many coins are there together

Answer: 104


SOLUTION 1 :

Grouping method

Step 1:

0.20 + 0.10 + 0.10 + 0.10 = 0.50(1 set)

Step 2:

13 ÷ 0.50 = 26 sets

*Note: 1 set has 4 notes

Step 3:

26 x 4 = 104 notes


SOLUTION 2 :
  No. of coins x Value Total Value
10-cent 3u x 0.10 0.30
20-cent 1u x 0.20 0.20
  4u     0.50

Step 1:

$13 ÷ 0.50 = 26

Step 2:

3 units (10-cent) + 1 unit (20-cent) = 4 units

4 units = 4 x 26

           =  104



2)  

Amutha had a total of 380, consisting of 10 and 2 notes. Given that she had five times as many 2 notes as 10 notes, how many notes did she have

Answer: 114


SOLUTION 1 :

Grouping method
