Part of the proceeds from a garage sale was $470 worth of $10 and $20 bills. If there were 14 more $10 bills than $20 bills, fin

Brums [2.3K]

There are 25 $10 bills and 11 $20 bills.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Worth of proceeds from garage = $470

Let,

x be the number of $10 bills

y be the number of $20 bills.

According to given situation;

10x+20y=470 Eqn 1

x = y+14 Eqn 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

$10(y+14)+20y=470\\10y+140+20y=470\\30y=470-140\\30y=330$

Dividing both sides by 30

$\frac{30y}{30}=\frac{330}{30}\\y=11$

Putting y=11 in Eqn 2

$x=11+14\\x=25$

There are 25 $10 bills and 11 $20 bills.

A colony of bacteria is growing exponentially according to the function below, where t is in hours. How many bacteria are there

pychu [463]

The growth of the bacteria is expressed as:

B(t) = 4 e^0.8t

where t is the time in units of hours. If the bacteria is allowed to grow for 8 hours then the number of bacteria present would be,

B(t) = 4 e^0.8(8)
B(t) = 2407
