Given:

The denominations of one rupee, five rupee and tens rupee coins are present in the box.

Total amount of coins present in box = Rs. 1360.

Calculation:

Let the denominations of all coins present in box be 1x, 5x, 10x.

⇒ 1x + 5x + 10x = 1360

⇒ 16x = 1360

⇒ x = 85

∴ The answer is 85.

Confusion Point

  • x represents the number of each type of coin.
  • 1x, 5x, and 10x represent the value (in rupees) of  1 rs, 5 rs & 10 rs coin respectively.
  • 1, 5 & 10 represent the coins of 1 rs, 5 rs & 10 rs respectively.
