    Answer:

    £62.4

    Step-by-step explanation:

    There are 104 coins in a bottle 1/2 of the coins are £1 coins

    Hence:

    1/2 × 104 coins = 52 coins

    Since 1/2 of the coins are £1 coins

    Hence

    52 coins = £52

    The remaining the rest of the coins are 20p coins

    The rest = 1/2 of 104 coins = 52 coins

    Note that:

    100 pence = 1£

    Hence:

    100p = 1 £

    20p = x

    Cross Multiply

    100p × x = 20p × £1

    x = 20p × £1 /100p

    x = £0.2

    So, one 20p coin = £ 0.2

    Hence:

    one 20p coin = £ 0.2

    52 20p coins = x

    Cross Multiply

    x = 52 × £0.2

    x = £10.4

    The total value for the 104 coins is

    = £52 + £10.4

    = £62.4
