Using proportions, it is found that the number of books that was left over was of 505.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

The number of books received by Marie is given by:

M = 772 - 345 = 427.

Melanie received one-sixth of Marie, hence:

Me = 427/6 = 71.

The total amount is 25 times Melanie's amount, hence:

T = 25 x 71 = 1775.

The amount left over is:

L = 1775 - (772 + 427 + 71) = 505

A box contains 76 coins, only dimes and nickels. The amount in the box is $4.90. How many dimes and how many nickels are in the
dangina [55]

The number of dimes is 75 coins.

The number of nickels is 1 coin.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

It is given that,

A box contains 76 coins, only dimes and nickels.

  • The 10 cent coin is called a dime.
  • Let, the number of dimes be x.
  • The 5 cent coin is called a nickel.
  • Let, the number of nickels be y.

<u>This is represented by the system of equations :</u>

x + y = 76  -------(1)

10x + 5y = 4.90  ------(2)

Multiply eq (1) by 5 and subtract eq (2) from eq (1),

 5x + 5y = 380

-<u>(10x + 5y = 4.90)</u>

 <u>-5x       = 375.1</u>

x = 375/5

x = 75 coins.

The number of dimes is 75 coins.

Substitute x=75 in eq (1),

y = 76 - 75

y = 1 coin.

The number of nickels is 1 coin.
