1)  

Chithra had a total of 160, 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: 48


SOLUTION 1 :

Grouping method

Step 1:

10 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2= 20 (1 set)

Step 2:

160 ÷ 20 = 8 sets

*Note: 1 set has 6 notes

Step 3:

8 x 6 = 48 notes


SOLUTION 2 :
  No.of notes x Value Total Units
10 1 x 10 10U
2 5 x 10 10U
  6     20U

 

Step 1:

20 units = 160

1 unit = 160  ÷ 20

          = 8

Step 2:

5 units (2 notes) + 1 unit (10 notes) = 6 units

6 units = 6 x 8

            = 48 notes



2)  

There are some coins in a box. The coins consist of 10-cent and 20-cent coins. There are twice as many 10-cent coins as 20-cent coins. If the total amount of money in the box is 16, how many coins are there together

Answer: 120


SOLUTION 1 :

Grouping method

Step 1:

0.20 + 0.10 + 0.10 = 0.40(1 set)

Step 2:

16 ÷ 0.40 = 40 sets

*Note: 1 set has 3 notes

Step 3:

40 x 3 = 120
