3:4 = 7
3/198 = 7/x
solve for x using cross multiplying
3/198 = 7/x
198(7) = 3x
1386 = 3x
/3 /3
462 = x
Therefore, there are 462 workers.
Proof:
3/198 = 4/x
198(4) = 3x
792 = 3x
/3 /3
264 = x
264 + 198 = 462.
264 / 4 = 66
198 / 3 = 66
462 / 7 = 66

Answer:
d + n = 147
0.10d + 0.05n = 11.65
d = 86, n = 61
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Number of dimes = d
Number of nickels = n
Total coins = 147
Total value = $11.65
d + n = 147 (1)
0.10d + 0.05n = 11.65 (2)
From (1)
d = 147 - n
Substitute d = 147 - n into
0.10d + 0.05n = 11.65
0.10(147 - n) + 0.05n = 11.65
14.7 - 0.10n + 0.05n = 11.65
- 0.10n + 0.05n = 11.65 - 14.7
-0.05n = -3.05
n = -3.05 / -0.05
= 61
n = 61
Substitute n = 61 into
d + n = 147
d + 61 = 147
d = 147 - 61
d = 86
