Every year, just before my birthday, I open my money box to see how much money I have saved.
Imagine my surprise when I found exactly £49.58 made up of equal numbers of 2p, 5p, 10p and 20p.
How many of each coin did I find?

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.
