In a piggy bank, the number of nickles is 8 more than half the number of quarters. The value of the coins is $21.85. Determine the number of nickels.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of nickels is 47

Step-by-step explanation:

1 nickel is 5 cents while 1 quarter is 25 cents

let the number of nickels be n and the number of quarters be q

From the question;

the number of nickels n is 8 more than half the number of quarters (q/2)

n = q/2 + 8

(n-8) = q/2

q = 2(n-8) = 2n - 16 ••••(i)

let us convert $21.85 to cents

there are 100 cents in $1

Thus; $21.85 will be 21.85 * 100 = 2185 cents

1 nickel is 5 cents; so n nickels will be 5 * n = 5n cents

1 quarter is 25 cents; so q quarters will be 25 * q = 25q cents

The addition of both will give 2185 cents

Thus;

5n + 25q = 2185 ••••••(ii)

Substitute equation i into ii

5n + 25(2n-16) = 2185

5n + 50n - 400 = 2185

55n = 2185 + 400

55n = 2,585

n = 2,585/55

n = 47 nickels

A. Their rates of change differ by 2. B. Their rates of change differ by 4. C. Function M has a greater rate of change than Function P. D. Function M and Function P have the same rate of change.

Answers

Answer:

(a) Their rates of change differ by 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for functions M and P

Required

Determine what is true about the rates of M and P

First, we calculate the slope (i.e. rate) of both functions.

Slope is calculated as:

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

From the table of M, we have:

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (-2,-9)[/tex]

[tex](x_2,y_2) = (2,11)[/tex]

So, the slope is:

[tex]m_M = \frac{11 --9}{2--2}[/tex]

[tex]m_M = \frac{20}{4}[/tex]

[tex]m_M = 5[/tex]

For function P, we have:

[tex]y = 7x + 9[/tex]

A function is represented as:

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

Where:

[tex]m = slope[/tex]

So, by comparison:

[tex]m_P = 7[/tex]

At this point, we have:

[tex]m_M = 5[/tex] --- Slope of M

[tex]m_P = 7[/tex] --- Slope of P

Only option (a) is true because both slopes differ by 2. i.e. 7 - 5 = 2

Other options are not true

Given P(A) 0.3, P(B) = 0.43 and P(ANB) = 0.249, find the value of
P(AUB), rounding to the nearest thousandth, if necessary.

0.481

Step-by-step explanation:

P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

              = 0.3 + 0.43 - 0.249

              = 0.73 - 0.249

              = 0.481

Isaac has three types of coins in his pocket. There are two more quarters than dimes, and as many nickels as quarters and dimes together. The coins total $3.75. How many quarters, dimes, and nickels are in Isaac's pocket?

Answers

Answer:

There are 16 nickels, 7 dimes, and 9 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Aight, so lets set dimes as "x". Since there are 2 more quarters than dimes, quarters is "x+2". And since nickels is equal to dimes plus quarters, nickels takes the role of "(x+2)+x". We can simplify this by adding x and x together, so nickels is "2x+2" In this example, I'm converting these variables to cents, since it's easier than converting to dollars. Since a dime is 10 cents, 10 times x is"10x". Quarters are worth 25, so first we do x times 25 (25x) and then 2 times 25 (50). Then nickels. 2x+2 times 5 is 10x + 10. Alright, so now we have our cent values. $3.75 is 375 cents, so now we can make an equation:

10x + 25x + 50 + 10x + 10 = 375 cents.

I'm guessing you already know how to solve an equation, first combine like terms, then figure out how many times the variable goes into the numerical value. You should end up with 7, which is dimes. If we go back to our problem, we see that there are 2 more quarters, so 7+2= 9 quarters. As for nickels (9+7) there are 16 nickels.

There's probably a more efficient way to do this, but since I'm so... uh... inefficient, this is the best explanation I can do :p

a dress is regulary price a $45 thedress is marked down 30 percent what is sale price of the dress

Answers

Answer:

$31.50

Step-by-step explanation:

So first thing, it's necessary to figure out what 30% of 45 is.

You can set this up as an algebraic expression or your can multiple 45 by 3/10 to find out what that 30% is.

The algebraic expression would be 30% of 45 is x.

Using one of these two options; we would discover that 30% of 45 is 13.5.

However, this is not the answer, yet.

The question is looking for the price of the dress after the 13.5 is taken away.

Therefore, you would subtract.

45 - 13.5 = 31.5

Sooooo... your answer is "The sale price of the dress is $31.50."

My little brother spent $5 on comic books and magazines. He bought 4 items. If comic books
cost $1 and magazines cost $2, how many of each item did my brother buy?
comic books
magazines

No links please!
Thank you

Answers

Answer: He bought 1 magazine and 3 comic books.

Step-by-step explanation: If comic books cost $1 and magazines cost $3, the equation for the problem should look like this: 2(m) + 1(c) = 5, since you know that the brother spent $5 in total. "m" represents the number of magazines purchased while "c" represents the number of comic books purchased. If you plug in 1 for "m" and 3 for "c", the equation would be true and would equal a total of $5. Also, 1 magazine and 3 comic books would mean that the little brother did, in fact, purchase 4 items.

Answers

Answer:

1. 18

2. 181

3. 101

Step-by-step explanation:

They want you to take each equation, and replace the letter with the number they give you after the equation.

3m + 2n + 4; m = 2, n = 4

This becomes

3(2) + 2(4) + 4

We multiply before we add, according to the order of operations. So next, the equation becomes:

6 + 8 + 4

= 18

———-

D^2 + 9k ; D = 10, k = 9

Numbers squared are numbers multiplied by themselves.

(10)(10) + 9(9)

= 100 + 81 = 181

——————-

3m + 4y x 2 ; m = 7, y = 10

3(7) + 4(10) x 2

21 + 40 x 2

Remember, multiplication always comes before addition.

21 + 80 = 101
