The equation which can be used to find the number of quarters and nickels is; n + q = 84, 0.05n + 0.25q = 17.80.

<h3>Quarters and nickels</h3>

  • Total coins = 84
  • Total value = $17.80

let

  • Number of quarters = q
  • Number of nickels = n

n + q = 84

0.05n + 0.25q = 17.80

From equation (1)

n = 84 - q

Substitute into (2)

0.05n + 0.25q = 17.80

0.05(84 - q) + 0.25q = 17.80

4.2 - 0.05q + 0.25q = 17.80

- 0.05q + 0.25q = 17.80 - 4.2

0.20q = 13.60

q = 13.60 / 0.20

q = 68

Substitute q = 68 into

n + q = 84

n + 68 = 84

n = 84 - 68

n = 16

Therefore, the number of quarters and nickels are 68 and 16 respectively.

1. The nominal rate on Sandra's loan is 7.125%. If the interest is compounded monthly, what rate of
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

She is actually paying a rate of 7.36% of interest.

Step-by-step explanation:

The real interest rate, as a decimal, is given by:

I = (1 + \frac{r}{n})^{n}

In which r is the interest rate and n is the number of compoundings during an year.

The nominal rate on Sandra's loan is 7.125%, compounded monthly:

This means that r = 0.07125, n = 12

So

I = (1 + \frac{0.07125}{12})^{12} = 1.0736

As a percentage: 1.0736*100 = 107.36% - 100% = 7.36%

She is actually paying a rate of 7.36% of interest.

The second side of a triangular deck is 3 feet longer than the shortest side and a third side that is 3 feet shorter than twice
matrenka [14]

Answer:

Shortest Side = 20 feet

Second Side = 23 feets

Third Side = 37 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the shortest side of the desk be x. Hence,

Second side = (x + 3) feets

Third side = (2x - 3) feets

Perimeter = 80ft

x + (x + 3) + (2x - 3) = 80

                          4x = 80

                             x = 20

Hence, Second side = (20 + 3) feets

                                  = 23 feets

Third side = (40 - 3) feets

                 = 37 feets

Hence<u>,</u><u> shortest side is 20 feets, Second side is 23 feets, Third side is 37 feets.</u>
