A jar contains 20 coins. There are only coins of value 1p, 2p, 5p and 10p in the jar.
A coin is taken at random from the jar.
The probability that it is a 1p coin is 1/5
The probability that it is a 2p coin is 1/2
The total value of the coins in the jar is 59 pence.
Work out how many of each type of coin there are in the jar.

See Attached Image, Explanation in order to understand how to calculate is below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Jar Contains 20 Coins.

The probability that it is a 1p coin is 1/5

The probability that it is a 2p coin is 1/2

The total value of the coins in the jar is 59 pence.

The Section in bold is vitally important in this question.

We know we have 4 combinations of 1p, 2p , 5p & 10p in order to make 59p, and only have 20 coins to make it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Calculate 1p:

1/5 of 20 = 4

We know the answer is 4 as we have 20 coins, you find 1/5 of 20.

Calculate 2p:

1/2 of 20 = 10

We know the answer is 10 as we have 20 coins, you find 1/2 of 20.

10 (2p Coins) + 4 (1p coins) = 14

20 coins - 14 (2p & 1p coins) = 6.

Now we only have 6 remaining coins for both 5p and 10p.

Calculate 5p:

We know we currently have a total of 24p if we subtract that from 59 we are left with 35.

So we can work establish here that we are not going to need many 10p's. As we only have 6 coins left!.  

5x5 = 25p.

Therefore you need 5, 5p's

Calculate 10p:

With 1 pence left out of the 20, we need 1 10p.

answer: 40392

step-by-step explanation:

10098 x 4 = 40392

multiply length by height. multiply the length by the height, and then double the product. work out 10 x 10 results = 100 square inches, then work out 100 x 2 = 200. the answer is 200 square inches.
