Q: A man has Rs.480 in the denominations of one-rupee notes, five-rupee notes and ten-rupee notes. The number of notes of each denomination is equal. What is the total number of notes that he has?

Let number of notes of each denomination be x Then x + 5 x + 10 x = 480 ⟹ 16 x = 480 ∴ x = 30. Hence, total number of notes = 3 x = 90.
