Answer: $62



SOLUTION 1 :
Step 1: 20-cent coins → 60%

  Difference → 100% - 60%  
    = 40%  
Step 2: 40% → 40 (difference)
  1% 4040%  
  60% 4040% x 60%1 (number of 20-cent coins)
    = 60  
  100% 4040% x 100%1 (number of 50-cent coins)
    = 100  
Step 3:  Amount of money in the bag → (60 x $0.20) + (100 x $0.50)  
    = $62
