Let x = the number of dimes
Let y = the number of pennies.
There are 8 coins, therefore
x + y = 8 (1)
The coins are worth 17 cents, therefore
10x + y = 17 (2)
Subtract equation (1) from equation (2).
10x + y - (x + y) = 17 - 8
9x = 9
x = 1
From (1), obtain
y = 8 -x = 8 - 1 = 7
Answer: 1 dime, 7 pennies.
#3 is correct at 120.4
#4 is 15/8...because 3/4+3/4=6/4 (for 20 doors) plus 3/8 (which is half of 3/4 for 5 more doors) equals 15/8 gallons or 1.875 gallons
#5 is $812.50 because if 50 shares cost $125, 325 shares (125×6.5) equals 812.50
64 6-2=4 then 4 times 4= 16 times 4 equals 64
