Question
Sofia has only ₹ 50 and ₹ 20 notes. She needs to pay ₹ 520 using these notes. How many ₹ 50 and ₹ 20 notes does she need to make ₹ 520? Find out the different possible combinations.
Answer

Let us check some possibilities by using division.
So, 10 × ₹ 50 + 1 × ₹ 20 = ₹ 520
So, 8 × ₹ 50 + 6 × ₹ 20 = ₹ 520
So, 6 × ₹ 50 + 11 × ₹ 20 = ₹ 520
So, Sofia can pay using ten ₹ 50 notes and one ₹ 20 note, eight ₹ 50 notes and six ₹ 20 notes, or six ₹ 50 notes and eleven ₹ 20 notes.
There can be other possible combinations also.
