1)  

There are some coins in a box. The coins consist of 10-cent and 20-cent coins. There are four times as many 10-cent coins as 20-cent coins. If the total amount of money in the box is 12, how many coins are there together

Answer: 100


SOLUTION 1 :
  No. of coins x Value Total Value
10-cent 4u x 0.10 0.40
20-cent 1u x 0.20 0.20
  5u     0.60

Step 1:

12 ÷ 0.60 = 20

Step 2:

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

5 units = 5 x 20

            =  100


SOLUTION 2 :

Grouping method

Step 1:

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

Step 2:

12 ÷ 0.60 = 20 sets

*Note: 1 set has 5 notes

Step 3:

20 x 5 = 100 notes
