Answer:

P = 0.5Q - 20

Step-by-step explanation:

P = kQ + c

substitute Q = 60 , P = 10 into the equation

10 = 60k + c → (1)

substitute Q = 240, P = 100 into the equation

100 = 240k + c → (2)

subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate c

90 = 180k ( divide both sides by 180 )

\frac{90}{180} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 = k

substitute k = 0.5 into (1) and solve for c

10 = 60(0.5) + c

10 = 30 + c ( subtract 30 from both sides )

- 20 = c

then

P = 0.5Q - 20

A cash box of $1 and $5 bills is worth $45. The number of $1 bills is three more than the number of $5 bills. How many of each b
Softa [21]

Answer:

  • 7 $5 bills
  • 10 $1 bills

Step-by-step explanation:

If we take out the extra $3, we can group the bills into one each of $5 and $1, for a value of $6. There will be 7 such groups in the remaining $42.

That means there are 7 bills of the $5 denomination, and 3 more than that (10 bills) of the $1 denomination.

There are 7 $5 bills and 10 $1 bills.

_____

If you want to write an equation, it is usually best to let a variable stand for the most-valuable contributor. Here, we can let x represent then number of $5 bills. Then the value of the cash box is ...

  5x +(x+3) = 45

  6x = 42 . . . . . . . . subtract 3, collect terms

  x = 7 . . . . . . . . . . . there are 7 $5 bills

  x+3 = 10 . . . . . . . . there are 10 $1 bills

You may notice that this working parallels the verbal description above. (After we subtract $3, x is the number of $6 groups.)
