1)  

Savithri had a total of 80, 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: 24


SOLUTION 1 :

Grouping method

Step 1:

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

Step 2:

80 ÷ 20 = 4 sets

*Note: 1 set has 6 notes

Step 3:

4 x 6 = 24 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 = 80

1 unit = 80  ÷ 20

          = 4

Step 2:

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

6 units = 6 x 4

            = 24 notes



2)  

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 26, how many coins are there together

Answer: 208


SOLUTION 1 :

Grouping method

Step 1:

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

Step 2:

26 ÷ 0.50 = 52 sets

*Note: 1 set has 4 notes

Step 3:

52 x 4 = 208 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:

$26 ÷ 0.50 = 52

Step 2:

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

4 units = 4 x 52

           =  208



3)

Step 2:

4 units (10-cent) + 1 unit (20-cent) = 5 units

5 units = 5 x 120

            =  600


SOLUTION 2 :

Grouping method

Step 1:

0.20 + 0.10 + 0.10 + 0.10 + 0.10 = 0.60(1 set)

Step 2:

72 ÷ 0.60 = 120 sets
