A man has Rs. 312 in the denominations of one-rupee notes, five-rupee notes and twenty-rupee notes. The number of notes of each denomination is equal. What is the total number of notes that he has ?
36
24
28
32
Explanation:
Let the number of notes of each denomination be x
Then, x + 5x + 20x = 312
=> 26x = 312
=> x = 312/26 = 12
the total number of notes that he has = 3x = 3 × 12 = 36
