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

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

A carpenter has at most $250 to spend on lumber the inequality 8x+12y<250 represents the numbers x of 2 by 8 boards and the n

malfutka [58]

Answer:

The carpenter will not be able to buy 12 '2 by 8 boards' and 14 '4 by 4 boards'.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount a carpenter can spend at most = $250

The inequality to represent the amount he can spend on each type of board is given as:

$8x+12y$

where $x$ represents '2 by 8 boards' and $y$ represents '4 by 4 boards'.

To determine whether the carpenter can buy 12 '2 by 8 boards' and 14 '4 by 4 boards'.

Solution :

In order to check whether the carpenter can buy 12 '2 by 8 boards' and 14 '4 by 4 boards' , we need to plugin the $x=12$ and $y=14$ in the given inequality and see if it satisfies the condition or not or in other words (12,14) must be a solution for the inequality.
