what are the fewest number of coins needed to make 37% of a dollar?

we know that

37%=37/100=0.37

that means

that 37% of a dollar is equal to 37 cents

if the coins are penny, dimes, nickels and quarter

we have

quarter ($0.25) --------> 1

remain 0.37-0.25=0.12

dimes ($0.10) ---------> 1

remain

0.12=0.10=0.02

penny ($0.01)-------> 2

therefore

he fewest number of coins needed is (1+1+2)=4

<h2>answer is 4 coins</h2>

If you can't read it, I'll do my best to translate:
Z) 10^2 + 5^2 = 125
√125 = 11.18 = Z

Y) tan-1(5/10) = 26.57°
90 + 26.57 = 116.57
180 - 116.57 = 63.43°
5 ÷ sin(63.43) = 8.88 = Y

X) 11.18^2 + 8.88^2 = 203.8468
√203.8468 = 14.28
14.28 - 10 = 4.28 = x

All numbers are rounded to 2 decimal places, if you need any explanations for why I did something then just let me know :)
I hope this helps!

A man has a collection of dimes and nickels with a total value of $1.70. if he has 8 more dimes than nickels how many of each co

Oxana [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We first have to write an expression for each of the types of coins in terms of one of them. If he has 8 more dimes than nickels, let's call nickels "x". That means that dimes is "x + 8". The value of a nickel is .05, so the expression relating the number of nickels to the worth of the nickel is .05x. The value of a dime is .10, so the expression relating the number of dimes to the worth of the dime is .10(x + 8). The total value of these coins is 1.70:

.05x + .10(x + 8) = 1.70 and

.05x + .10x + .8 = 1.70 and

.15x = .9 so

x = 6

That means we have 6 nickels and 14 dimes.

The focus of a parabola is located at (4,0), and the directrix is located at x = –4.

nydimaria [60]

The distance between the focus and directrix is, in this case, 8. Since the directrix is at x= something, the parabola opens sideways, and since the directrix is on the left, to the right. In which case, y^2=p(x), where p is 4 times distance of half of distance between directrix and focus. So, the answer is D. y^2=16x. The 4th answer.
