25The number of 20-cent coins and $1 coins is the same.
Number of 5-cent coins
= 5 u - 2 u - 2 u
= 1 u
$1 = 100¢
$7 x 100 = 7 x 100 = 700¢
Number of more 20-cent coins than 5-cent coins
= 40 u - 5 u
= 35 u
35 u = 700
1 u = 700 ÷ 35 = 20
Total number of coins that Paul had
= 1 u + 2 u + 2 u
= 5 u
= 5 x 20
= 100
Answer(s): 100
