Question

Becky has 9 bags of coins. Some of the bags contain 8 gold coins, and the rest contain 6

silver coins. If Becky has 62 coins in all, how many bags of each type of coin does Becky
have?

Answer 1

4 bags of gold coins and 6 bags of gold coins

Explanation:

So, Becky has 9 bags of coins

This is basically a "trial and error" equation.

Now, she has 4 bags of 8 gold coins

8×4= 32

So she has 32 gold coins

Now, she has 5 bags of 6 silver coins

5×6=30

So she has 30 silver coins.

So we add these,

30+32= 62

HOPE THIS HELPS!!!
