These are the first sentences in the short story, "The Gift of the Magi," by O. Henry: "One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That

was all. And sixty cents of it was in pennies." Model the scenario with an equation. Let q be the number of quarters, d be the number of dimes, and n be the number of nickels.

$1.87

60 cents in pennies = $.60

Each quarter is $.25, each dime is $.10, and each nickel is $.05.

1.87=q*.25+d*.10+n*.05+.60

kumpel [21]

Answer:

12.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The two left sides have lengths, so this allows you to establish the ratio of the lengths of the sides of the triangles,

left triangle : right triangle

ratio = 25 : 17.5

The bottom sides are also in the same ratio.

ratio = 18 : w

Write a proportion by setting the ratios equal and solve for w.

25/17.5 = 18/w

Cross multiply.

25w = 17.5 * 18

25w = 315

w = 12.6

Answer: 12.6

If the consumption function is C = $200 billion + 0.5Y, Note: some values are in 'trillions' and others are in 'billions'. (
Strike441 [17]
Answer: The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) in the given equation is 0.5.

The formula above is in slope intercept form. The MPC is like the slope of the equation. It gives the change in consumption, C, over the change in income, Y.

For example, if we let Y = 1, then the consumption will go from 200 to 200.5. It was a change of 0.5 over 1. Or just 0.5.

Explain how you would estimate to subtract 189 from 643
bulgar [2K]
To estimate an answer to this problem, you must first estimate the numbers as well. 189 would round to 190, and 643 would round to 640. Now you would subtract 190 from 640, giving you 460.
