Then, the number of 25 paisa coins = 4x
Total value of 50 paisa coins = 50 x paisa
and total value of 25 paisa coins
= 25 x 4 = 100 x paisa
But total value of both the coins
= Rs. 30 (Given)
= 30 x 100 paisa
= 3000 paisa
According to the question,
50 x + 100 x = 3000
=> 150 x = 3000
150×150 = 3000150
