45100 =
920The number of 20-cent coins and $1 coins is the same.
Number of 10-cent coins
= 20 u - 9 u - 9 u
= 2 u
$1 = 100¢
$16 x 100 = 16 x 100 = 1600¢
Number of more 20-cent coins than 10-cent coins
= 180 u - 20 u
= 160 u
160 u = 1600
1 u = 1600 ÷ 160 = 10
Total number of coins that Julian had
= 2 u + 9 u + 9 u
= 20 u
= 20 x 10
= 200
Answer(s): 200
