In a purse for every 8 notes of 10/- it should have 5 notes of 5/-. For every 8 notes of 5/- it should have 3 notes of 1/-. If value of 5 notes =200 then what is the total amount in the purse?
To find the total amount in the purse, we need to follow the given conditions incrementally.
Let's start with the given value that 5 notes of 5/- have a total value of 200/-. This means each note is worth 40/- because 200 / 5 = 40.
Next, we know that for every 8 notes of 5/-, there should be 3 notes of 1/-. Since we have 5 notes of 5/-, we can calculate the number of notes of 1/- as follows:
Number of notes of 1/- = (5 notes of 5/-) / (8 notes of 5/-) * (3 notes of 1/-)
Number of notes of 1/- = 5/8 * 3 = 15/8 ≈ 2
We have determined that there are approximately 2 notes of 1/-. Since each note of 1/- is worth 1/-, the value of the 2 notes is 2 x 1 = 2/-.
Now, let's calculate the total amount in the purse. We have:
- 5 notes of 5/-, with each note worth 40/-. So, the total value of 5 notes is 5 x 40 = 200/-.
- 2 notes of 1/-, with each note worth 1/-. So, the total value of 2 notes is 2 x 1 = 2/-.
Adding these values together:
Total amount in the purse = Value of 5 notes + Value of 2 notes
Total amount in the purse = 200 + 2 = 202/-
Therefore, the total amount in the purse is 202/-.
