ArithmeticQuestion 393 of 550

A box holds 14 coins. Some are 5 SAR coins and the rest are 1 SAR coins. Their total value is 38 SAR. How many 5 SAR coins are there?

  1. 6
  2. 5
  3. 7
  4. 8
Show answer

Correct answer: 6

If all were 1 SAR coins, the value would be 14. Each 5 SAR coin adds 4 SAR. The extra = 38 − 14 = 24, so the number of coins = 24 ÷ 4 = 6.
