What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

The coins are in the ratio 2:5:7 respectively. If he has a R90 in R2 coins. If x represent the total coins, hence:

(5/14) * x = 90

x = 252

Number of R5 coins = (2/14) * 252 = 36

Number of R1 coins = (7/14) * 252 = 126
