The dekameter (or decameter) first needs to be a translated into how many
the meters. deka means 10, so a dekameter it must be 10 meters. So we have to
divide 250 by 10, and then we will come up with 25 dekameters.
hope that helps!!
Answer:
12 nickels
36 dimes
52 quarters
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = no. of nickels
3x = no. of dimes
x + 40 = no. of quarters
5x = value of the nickels since each nickel is 5 cents
10(3x) = 30x = value of the dimes since each dime is 10 cents
25(x + 40) = 25x + 1000 = value of the quarters since each quarter is 25 cents
Now, 5x + 30x + 25x + 1000 = 1720 ($17.20 = 1720 cents)
60x + 1000 = 1720
60x = 720
x = 12 nickels
3x = 36 dimes
x + 40 = 52 quarters
Check: 12 nickels are worth $.60
36 dimes are worth $3.60
52 quarters are worth $13
.60 + 3.60 + 13 = 17.20
Answer:
6 Dollars.
Step-by-step explanation:
A toolset sells for $150 at a local hardware store. The toolset is on sale for 20% off the retail price, p, given by f(p) = 0.80p. Devon is interested in buying the toolset and has a coupon for $30 off the price of the toolset, which can be represented by g(p) = p – 30.
Therefore, the cost of using the coupon followed by the discount,
f[g(p)] = 0.80(p - 30) = 0.80(150 - 30) = 96 dollars.
And the cost of using the discount followed by the application of the coupon,
g[f(p)] = 0.80p - 30 = 0.80 × 150 - 30 = 90 dollars.
Therefore, the difference between f[g(p)] and g[f(p)] is (96 - 90 ) = 6 dollars. (Answer)
The expression 30 + 12 can be rewritten as 2x(13+8)
