Question

Answer 1

Answer:

Copper = x= 36.19

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of copper is unknown

Gold = 1/3

Silver = 1/5

Bronze =2/7

Copper = x

Total coins = 200

Gold = 1/3 of 200

= 1/3 × 200

= 200/3

= 66.67

Silver = 1/5 × 200

= 200/5

= 40

Bronze = 2/7 × 200

= 400/7

= 57.14

Total = gold + silver + bronze + copper

200 = 66.67 + 40 + 57.14 + x

200 = 163.81 + x

200 - 163.81 = x

x = 36.19

Copper = x= 36.19
