Using a system of equations, it is found that there are 5 dimes and 9 quarters in his pocket.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the variables are given as follows:

  • Variable x: number of dimes in his pocket.
  • Variable y: number of quarters in his pocket.

He has a total of 14 coins, hence:

x + y = 14 -> y = 14 - x.

They are worth $2.75, hence, considering the value of each coin(dimes $0.1 and quarters $0.25), we have that:

0.1x + 0.25y = 2.75

Since y = 14 - x:

0.1x + 0.25(14 - x) = 2.75

x = (0.25*14 - 2.75)/0.15.

x = 5.

y = 14 - x = 14 - 5 = 9.

There are 5 dimes and 9 quarters in his pocket.

Find the percent of change in altitude if a weather balloon moves from 50 ft to 95 ft. Describe the percent of change as an incr
Luda [366]
The change of the weather balloon would be 90% increase. to get the percentage of change we have to subtract 50 ft to 95 ft, it will then give us the 45 ft change. Then we have to divide 45 ft by 50 ft times 100, it will give us 90%. Then since the change and percentage of change is positive then the change could be describe as increasing.

0.51km × 1000 = 510m

510m × (3×7) = 510m × 21 = 10710m in whole

Step-by-step explanation:

first we transform km to m (multiply by 1000)

then we count how much days are in three weeks ( 3 weeks × 7 days)

then we just multiply the meters per day × the days

99% it's true
