Answer:

64 nickels and 24 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let there be x nickels and y dimes

The number of nickels is 8 less than 3 times the dimes

i.e. x = 3y-8

Value of the coins = 5x+10y

= 560 cents (given)

Substitute x value in the second equation

5(3y-8)+10y = 560\\25y = 600\\y =24\\

Substitute in

x = 3y-8\\=64

There are 64 nickels and 24 dimes.

Answer:

1 quart blue + 1 1/2 quart red

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Ratio of blue paint : red paint = 1/3 : 1/2

simplifying this ratio into whole numbers by multiplying both sides by 2 and 3, we get:

(1/3) x (3x2) : (1/2) x (3x2)

2 : 3

From this we can determine the fractions of red and blue paint used in any total purple mix

fraction of blue paint = 2/(2+3) = 2/5 of purple mix

fraction of red paint = 3/(2+3) = 3/5 of purple mix

we are given that we want to make 2 1/2  (= 5/2) quarts of purple paint

hence

amount of blue paint

= fraction of blue paint in purple mix x total amount of purple paint

= (2/5) x (5/2) = 1 quart

amount of red paint

= fraction of redpaint in purple mix x total amount of purple paint

= (3 /5) x (5/2) = 3/2 quart = 1 1/2 quart

Readme [11.4K]
David's score on his fifth test would be an 87. If you add up all the scores from his first to his fourth test, it would 363. However, since there are five tests, in order to get a 90 percent, the sum of all five test scores would be 450. 450 - 363 = 87.
