In a rare coin collection, there is one gold coin for every three non-gold coins. 10 more gold coins are added to the collection and the ratio of gold coins to non-gold coins would be 1 : 2. Based on the information; the total number of coins in the collection now becomes.
A) 90
B) 80
C) 60
D) 50
Correct answer:
A) 90
Description for Correct answer:
Let the number of gold coins initially be x
and the number of non-gold coins be y.
According to the question,
3x = y
When 10 more gold coins, total number gold coins become x + 10
and the number non-gold coins remain the same at y.
Now, we have \( \Large 2 \left(10+x\right)=y \)
Solving these two equations, we get
x = 20 and y = 60.
Total number of coins in the collection at the end is equal to
x+10+y = 20+10+60 = 90.
