Allcoins-nickles=pennies

24-7=17

17 pennies
7 nickles

total value is
5(7)+1(17)=35+17=52 cents

52 cents, because 5 cents times the number of nickels, 7 plus 17 pennies equals 52 cents.

Find the smallest 4 digit number such that when divided by 35, 42 or 63 remainder is always 5
alex41 [277]

The smallest such number is 1055.

We want to find x such that

\begin{cases}x\equiv5\pmod{35}\\x\equiv5\pmod{42}\\x\equiv5\pmod{63}\end{cases}

The moduli are not coprime, so we expand the system as follows in preparation for using the Chinese remainder theorem.

x\equiv5\pmod{35}\implies\begin{cases}x\equiv5\equiv0\pmod5\\x\equiv5\pmod7\end{cases}

x\equiv5\pmod{42}\implies\begin{cases}x\equiv5\equiv1\pmod2\\x\equiv5\equiv2\pmod3\\x\equiv5\pmod7\end{cases}

x\equiv5\pmod{63}\implies\begin{cases}x\equiv5\equiv2\pmod 3\\x\equiv5\pmod7\end{cases}

Taking everything together, we end up with the system

\begin{cases}x\equiv1\pmod2\\x\equiv2\pmod3\\x\equiv0\pmod5\\x\equiv5\pmod7\end{cases}

Now the moduli are coprime and we can apply the CRT.

We start with

x=3\cdot5\cdot7+2\cdot5\cdot7+2\cdot3\cdot7+2\cdot3\cdot5

Then taken modulo 2, 3, 5, and 7, all but the first, second, third, or last (respectively) terms will vanish.

Taken modulo 2, we end up with

x\equiv3\cdot5\cdot7\equiv105\equiv1\pmod2

which means the first term is fine and doesn't require adjustment.

Taken modulo 3, we have

x\equiv2\cdot5\cdot7\equiv70\equiv1\pmod3

We want a remainder of 2, so we just need to multiply the second term by 2.

Taken modulo 5, we have

x\equiv2\cdot3\cdot7\equiv42\equiv2\pmod5

We want a remainder of 0, so we can just multiply this term by 0.

Taken modulo 7, we have

x\equiv2\cdot3\cdot5\equiv30\equiv2\pmod7

We want a remainder of 5, so we multiply by the inverse of 2 modulo 7, then by 5. Since 2\cdot4\equiv8\equiv1\pmod7, the inverse of 2 is 4.

So, we have to adjust x to

x=3\cdot5\cdot7+2^2\cdot5\cdot7+0+2^3\cdot3\cdot5^2=845

and from the CRT we find

x\equiv845\pmod2\cdot3\cdot5\cdot7\implies x\equiv5\pmod{210}

so that the general solution x=210n+5 for all integers n.

We want a 4 digit solution, so we want

210n+5\ge1000\implies210n\ge995\implies n\ge\dfrac{995}{210}\approx4.7\implies n=5

which gives x=210\cdot5+5=1055.

a water tank holds 280 gallons. two percent of the water is lost at stream. how many gallons remain to be used ?
mart [117]
If you would like to know how many gallons remain to be used, you can do this using the following steps:

lost: 2% of 280 gallons = 2% * 280 gallons = 2/100 * 280 = 5.6 gallons

280 gallons - 5.6 gallons = 274.4 gallons

The correct result would be 274.4 gallons.

An object is launched from a platform. It's height (in meters), x seconds after the launch, is modeled by: h(x)=-5(x-4)^2+180. W
Kipish [7]

The height of the object at the time of launch is 100 meters.

To find this, we simply have to put 0 in for x, as this is when there has been no time (at launch)

h(x)=-5(x-4)^2+180

h(0)=-5(0-4)^2+180

h(0)=-5(-4)^2+180

h(0)=-5(16)+180

h(0)=-80+180

h(0) = 100
