Well obviously quarters equal 25 cents.  So you have to divide the 8.85 by 25 first.  That means he could have 35 quarters.  That least the rest as being dimes.  So find the remaining amount of the 8.85.  If you have 35 quarters that's $8.75.  And 8.85 minus 8.75 is 10 cents.  which would be 2 nickels.  That only adds up 37 coins.  So you break down one of the 25.  That would mean 5 more coins could be nickels.  Add 37 and 5 to get 42.   Do it again.  25 cents in nickels would be 5 more coins.  would be 46.  that would be missing 2 coins. But don't forget you're also subtracting from the 35 quarters. Now you would technically have 12 nickels and 33 quarters.  So you can do it one more time.  32 quarters means there is $8 in quarters at this point.

Now add you have 12 nickels, and you made 5 more.  That's 17 nickels.  That equals 85 cents.  So add 17 and 32 to be sure you have 49 coins, which you do. 


So 17 nickels, 32 quarters to equal 49 coins and $8.85

(sorry some of it got mixed up above because I was forgetting to subtract the quarters from the total as I changed them to nickels, so pay attention to the end)

B. Find the value of X. Show your work, I’m not sure how to do this
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

63°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of all interior angles of a triangle = 180°

Therefore:

x + 96° + 21° = 180°

x + 117 = 180

Subtract 117 from each side

x = 180 - 117

x = 63°

In the figure, Δ ABC Δ XYZ. What is the perimeter of ΔABC? Show your work.
slava [35]

Answer:

49

Step-by-step explanation:

∆ABC~ ∆XYZ

AB= 11 that is half of XY = 22

therefore XZ/2 = AC (base) = 32/2 = 16

and YZ /2 = BC(hypotenuse) = 44/2 = 22

(a= 11, b= 16, c= 22)

perimeter of a triangle

P = a+b+c

P= 11+16+22= 49

How many solutions doe
musickatia [10]

Answer:

Given equation have two solutions.

x = -\frac{5}{2} and -\frac{8}{3}

Right option is (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given,

6x^{2} +40=-31x

we can rewrite this equation in the form given as:

6x² + 40 + 31x = 0

or 6x² + 31x + 40 = 0

On solving this quadratic equation, we get :

x = -\frac{5}{2} and -\frac{8}{3}

That means, given equation have two solutions.

Right option is (D)
