Answer :
Answer:
There are 768 1 dollar coins, 1280 50 cent coins and 1792 25 cent coins
Step-by-step explanation:
The total amount of coins is given by x.
Ratio 3:5:7
[tex]\frac{3}{3+5+7} = \frac{3}{15}[/tex] are worth $1.
[tex]\frac{5}{3+5+7} = \frac{5}{15}[/tex] are worth 50 cents = $0.5.
[tex]\frac{7}{3+5+7} = \frac{7}{15}[/tex] are worth 25 cents = $0.25.
The total amount of money is $1856.
This means that:
[tex]\frac{3x}{15} + 0.5\frac{5x}{15} + 0.25\frac{7x}{15} = 1856{/tex]
Multiplying everything by 15
[tex]3x + 2.5x + 1.75x = 27840[/tex]
[tex]7.25x = 27840[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{27840}{7.25}[/tex]
[tex]x = 3840[/tex]
Amount of coins of 1 dollar:
[tex]\frac{3*3840}{15} = \frac{3840}{5} = 768[/tex]
Amount of 50 cent coins:
[tex]\frac{5*3840}{15} = \frac{3840}{3} = 1280[/tex]
Amount of 25 cent coins:
[tex]\frac{7*3840}{15} = 1792[/tex]
There are 768 1 dollar coins, 1280 50 cent coins and 1792 25 cent coins
