Answer:

She has 20 coins in her bank, where she has 12 nickels and 8 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

  • A quarter is 25 cents
  • A nickel is 5 cents
  • Since she has 8 fewer than nickels, we add 8 to the number of nickels

Q = N + 8,   25Q + 5N = 560

25(N + 8) + 5N = 560

25N + 200 + 5N = 560

25N + 200 - 200 + 5N = 560 - 200

30N = 360

30N / 30 = 360 / 30

N = 12 nickels

Finding amount of Quarters:

Q = N + 8 → Q = 12 + 8

Q = 20 quarters

Alex

Answer:

252 bags of maize

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that a farmer harvested maize

In the year 2012 = 144 bags of maize

In the year 2013(following year) the harvest decreased in the ratio 3:4

This means

3:4 = 2013: 2012.

Where number of bags harvested in 2013 = unknown = x

3/4 = x/ 144

Cross multiply 4x = 3 × 144

x = 3 × 144/ 4

× = 108

This means 108 bags of maize was harvested in 2013

The total number of bags harvested is = 108 + 144

= 252 bags of maize.

Aleks [24]
The problem with the question is that 51% of 1009 adults could not have said that their biggest fear was losing vision. The issue with 51% of 1009 is that you wont be left with a whole number, but a decimal instead. You cant have a decimal of a person.

Let's call the unknown amount of money <em>x</em>

Betty spend 5/12 of her money (5/12)x and had 42 dollars left. Translated,

x - \frac 5{12} x = 42

Solving,

x(1 - \frac 5{12}) = 42

\frac{7}{12} x = 42

x =  \dfrac{12}{7} \cdot 42 = 72

Answer: $72
