Problem on Numbers

[koolfriend4u]

A rich man died. In his will, he has divided his gold coins among his 5 sons, 5 daughters and a manager. According to his will: First give one coin to manager. 1/5th of the remaining to the elder son. Now give one coin to the manager and 1/5th of the remaining to second son and so on..... After giving coins to 5th son, divided the remaining coins among five daughters equally. All should get full coins. Find the minimum number of coins he has?

I need to know , is it possible to get the solution in easiest way?

Manager = 5 coins
First son = 624 coins
Second son = 499 coins
Third son = 399 coins
Forth son = 319 coins
Fifth son = 255 coins
Daughters = 204 *5

Total = 3121 coins

A group of friends went on a holiday to a hill station. It rained for 13 days. But when it
rained in the morning, the afternoon was lovely. And when it rained in the afternoon, the
day was preceded by clear morning.
Altogether there were 11 very nice mornings and 12 very nice afternoons. How many days did
their holiday last?

The ratio of Boys to Girls is 6:4. 60% of the boys and 40% of the girls take lunch in the canteen. What % of class takes lunch in canteen?

I think the answer for this should be 52%, Total Students 10x Students taking food in canteen = 3.6x + 1.6 x = 5.2 x

Hence 52%

For other questions wait for some time
