Answer:
1.
Let
x = # of pcs of P5 coins
y = # of pcs of P10 coins
Conditions:
x + y = 21 ===> combination # of pcs of total coins
so we can also say:
x = 21 - y
or
y = 21 - x
We know that the total amount of combination of coins amount to P180.00
so we can say that,
5x + 10y = 180
but
y = 21 - x (or use x = 21 - y)
so,
5x + 10(21 - x) = 180
5x + 210 - 10x = 180
-5x = 180 - 210
-5x = -30
x = -30/-5
x = 6
solve for y,
y = 21 - x
y = 21 - 6
y = 15
Therefore there are 6 pcs. P5 coins and 15 pcs. P10 coins.
Check Answer:
(6 x P5) + (15 x P10) = P180
P30 + P150 = P180
P180 = P180 ✓✓✓ True
