A collection of dimes and nickels is worth $8.40 there are 106 coins how many of each are there

1 answer:

7 0

There are 62 dimes and 44 nickels.

N + D = 106 (There are 106 coins in all.)
1 nickel = 5 cents.
1 dime = 10 cents.
5*N + 10*D = 840 ($8.40 = 840 cents)
N + D = 106 -------(1)
N = (106 - D)
5*N + 10*D = 840 ---------(2)
5*(106-D) + 10*D = 840
530 - 5*D + 10*D = 840
5*D = 840 - 530
5*D = 310
D = 310/5 = 62
Eq(1) N + D = 106
N + 62 = 106
N = 106 - 62
N = 44

Tristan swam around a lake 8 times. The distance around the lake was 0.25 miles. He swam at an average of 60 minutes per mile. W

loris [4]

Total of 8 times
Distance is 0.25 miles

8 * 0.25 is 2 so a total distance of 2 miles

We know his avg swim rate to be 60 minutes per mile, meaning if he traveled 2 miles then we multiply it by 60 to get our total time taken.

60min/mile * 2 miles = 120 minutes total

So, step D is the same as what I've done to calculate the total time it will take Tristan to swim around the lake
