[quote=Pinkfellow post_id=2040092 time=1633072706 user_id=137321]Helen and Ivan had the same number of coins. Helen had a number of 50-cent coins and 64 20-cent coins. These coins had a mass of 1.134 kg. Ivan had a number of 50-cent coins and 104 20-cent coins .
(a) Who has more money in coins and by how much?(2)
(b) given that each 50-cent coin is 2.7g more heavier than a 20-cent coin, what is the mass of Ivan’s coins in kilograms? (2)
Given that they both have the same number of coins, and Ivan has 40 more 20 cent coins than Helen, this means that both Helen has 40 more 50 cent coins than Helen, also meaning that she has more money.
Helen has 40(50C-30C)=$12 more than Ivan
Part (b)
Since Helen had 40 more 50 cent coins than Ivan, therefore her coins are (40x2.7g)=108g heavier than Ivan's coins. Then, simply subtract 108g from 1134g, which equals to 1026g or 1.026kg
