I think in this situation the best method would be a guess and check. You know that there are 8 dimes more than there are nickels. So just keep increasing each number by one until you reach $1.40. If there were 9 dimes and 1 nickels it would add up to $0.95. If there were 10 dimes and 2 nickels, it would add up to $1.10. If there were 11 dimes and 3 nickels, it would add up to $1.25. If there were 12 dimes and 4 nickels, it would add up to $1.40. So your answer is 12 dimes and 4 nickels.
I hope this helped!
The hourly wage is approximately $26 per hour. Find out how many hours the person works per year by multiplying 40 x 50 to get 2,000 hours. Then divide 52,000 by 2,000 to get the person's hourly wage, which is $26 hours per hour.
Answer:
1. Lisa purchased almonds for $3.00 and spent $24.90.
The quantity of almonds bought is therefore:
= Total amount spent / Cost per pound
= 24.90 / 3
= 8.3 pounds
2. If the price goes up to $3.50 per pound and the maximum Lisa can spend is $25, the number of pounds she can get is:
= Maximum amount for almonds / Price per almonds
= 25 / 3.5
= 7.14 pounds
