Hint
Remember that you have the same number of each coin.

Answer
134 of each coin.

Reasoning
We have equal numbers of 2p, 5p, 10p, and 20p.

And 2p + 5p + 10p + 20p = 37p.

There are 134 lots of 37p in £49.58.

Double-Checking
134 x 37 = 4958.

Hint
In the first box, look at 7 & 3, and 4 & 1, to see how we can use them to make 12.

Answer
4.

Reasoning
For each row, the left minus the right gives a number.

The numbers for the rows are then multiplied together.

In the first box:

   7 – 3 = 4
   4 – 1 = 3

so 4 x 3 = 12

In the second box:

   9 – 2 = 7
   8 – 3 = 5

so 7 x 5 = 35

In the last box:

   6 – 2 = 4
   8 – 7 = 1

so 4 x 1 = 4.
