Respuesta :

Answer:

160 off 20p coins

Step-by-step explanation:

  • 1 p, 20 p, 5 p coins
  • 1 p= 3/8 of the bag
  • 5 p= 1 p= 3/8 of the bag
  • total coins= 640

20 p coins= 640 - 640*(3/8+3/8)= 640*(1- 6/8)= 640 * 2/8= 640* 1/4= 160

Step by step explanation:
20p coins = 640 -640*(3/8+3/8)=640*(-16/8)=640 *2/8=640*1/4=160
