Currency such as dollars can come in various forms such as dimes, quarters, pennies, and nickels.

The number of quarter coins is 12 and the number of dollar coins is 14 coins.

Let's represent:

The number of 1 dollar coin = d

The number of 1 quarter coin = q

The twenty-six coins in my pocket are all dollar coins and quarters. The algebraic equation for this statement above is =

d + q = 26 ........ Equation 1

Making d the subject of the formula

d = 26 - q

1 dollar coin = $1

1 quarter = $0.25

The value of the dollar and nickel coins is seventeen dollars. The algebraic expression for this statement is :

$1 x d + $0.25 x q = 17

d + 0.25q = 17.................Equation 2

Substitute 26 - q for d in Equation 2

26 - q + 0.25q = 17

Collecting like terms

26 - 17 = q - 0.25q

9 = 0.75q

Divide both sides by 0.75

9/0.75 = 0.75q/0.75

q = 12 coins

Solving for number of dollar coins

d = 26 - q

q = 12

d = 26 - 12

d = 14 coins

Therefore, the number of quarter coins is 12 and the number of dollar coins is 14 coins.

A. 9

B. 24

C. 6

D. 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ratios are;

A. 2 : 3 = 6 : x

Product of mean = Product of extreme

6*3=2*x\\18=2x\\2x=18

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{18}{2}\\x=9

B. 4 : 7 = x : 42

Product of mean = Product of extreme

7x=168

Dividing both sides by 7

\frac{7x}{7}=\frac{168}{7}\\x=24

C. 2x : 48 = 3 : 12

Product of extreme = Product of mean

2x*12=48*3\\24x=144

Dividing both sides by 24

\frac{24x}{24}=\frac{144}{24}\\x=6

D. 12 : 15 = x : 20

Product of mean = Product of extreme

15*x=12*20\\15x=240

Dividing both sides by 15

\frac{15x}{15}=\frac{240}{15}\\x=16

Asia and taryn each had the same amount of money. after asia spent $14 and taryn spent $22, the ratio of asia's money to taryn's
blagie [28]

It is given in the question that

Asia and taryn each had the same amount of money. after asia spent $14 and taryn spent $22, the ratio of asia's money to taryn's money was 4 to 3.

Let , initially, they both have $x each .

So according to the given question ,

\frac{x-14}{x-22} = \frac{4}{3}

Cross multiplication

3(x-14) = 4(x-22)
\\
3x-42 = 4x-88
\\
88-42 = 4x-3x
\\
x = 46

Therefore , initially, they both have $46 each .
