Let x be the <span>heights of a maple tree and y be the height of the cherry tree.
We know:
</span>

<span>The new ratio is obtained like this:
</span>

.
From the above equation we get

.
then

Solving the above equation for y we get:

So
So the first tree is (400-160=240) more taller than cherry tree.

Easy do 12 times 16 divided by two = 96
answer=96
Let's make a system of equations to solve for this:
n + q = 84
0.05n + 0.25q = 12.80
where n = nickels and q = quarters.
---
Solve for n in the first equation by subtracting q from both sides.
n = 84 - q
---
Plug n into the second equation.
0.05(84 - q) + 0.25q = 12.80
Distribute 0.05 inside the parentheses.
4.2 - 0.05q + 0.25q = 12.80
Combine like terms.
4.2 + 0.2q = 12.80
Subtract 4.2 from both sides.
0.2q = 8.6
Divide both sides by 0.2.
q = 43
---
Plug 43 for q in the first equation.
n + (43) = 84
Subtract 43 from both sides.
n = 41
---
There are 41 nickels and 43 quarters in the piggy bank. ✅
