Answer:
6,226 tiles of 9 in are needed to cover an area of 400 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
A -----> an area in square feet
t(A) ---> the total number of 9 in. tiles needed
we have

For A=400 ft^2
substitute in the equation and solve for t


That means -----> 6,226 tiles of 9 in are needed to cover an area of 400 square feet
Answer:
- 39 quarters and 41 nickels
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of quarters be x and nickels be y.
<u>Given:</u>
- Quarter is 25 cents
- Nickel is 5 cents
- Number of coins is 80
- Total amount is $11.80 = 1180 cents
<u>We have equations:</u>
- x + y = 80
- 25x + 5y = 1180
<u>Solve the system by elimination, subtract 5 times the first equation from the second one:</u>
- 25x + 5y - 5x - 5y = 1180 - 80*5
- 20x = 780
- x = 780/20
- x = 39
<u>Find the value of y:</u>
- 39 + y = 80
- y = 80 - 39y = 41
<u>Verify:</u>
- 25*39 + 5*41 = 975 + 205 = 1180
When you divide these you get
15.25/244=0.0625
