36100 =
925The number of 20-cent coins and $1 coins is the same.
Number of 10-cent coins
= 25 u - 9 u - 9 u
= 7 u
$1 = 100¢
$22 x 100 = 22 x 100 = 2200¢
Number of more 20-cent coins than 10-cent coins
= 180 u - 70 u
= 110 u
110 u = 2200
1 u = 2200 ÷ 110 = 20
Total number of coins that Zeph had
= 7 u + 9 u + 9 u
= 25 u
= 25 x 20
= 500
Answer(s): 500
