Answer: nickels = 14, dimes = 42, quarters = 18
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let n represent nickels <em>which has a value of $0.05 </em>
Let d represent dimes <em>which has a value of $0.10</em>
Let q represent quarters <em>which has a value of $0.25</em>
It is given that:
n = n
d = 3n
q = n + 4
and their total value is $9.40 ⇒ n + d + q = $9.40
Use substitution to find the quantity of nickels:
.05(n) + .10(3n) + .25(n + 4) = 9.40
5n + 10(3n) + 25(n+4) = 940 <em>multiplied by 100 </em>
5n + 30n + 25n + 100 = 940 <em>distributed</em>
60n + 100 = 940 <em>added like terms</em>
60n = 840 <em>subtracted 100</em>
n = 14 <em>divided by 60</em>
n = 14
d = 3n
= 3(14)
= 42
q = n + 4
= (14) + 4
= 18
That box means 90degrees so you put them equal to each other 90 = 15X
90/15 = 6
So x = 6
<h3>
Answer: 120 different ways</h3>
=======================================================
Explanation:
There are...
- 6 ways to select the first place winner
- 5 ways to pick the second place winner
- 4 ways to pick the third place winner
We start with 6, and count down by 1 each time we fill up a slot. We stop once the third slot is filled or accounted for. The countdown is to ensure that we don't pick the same person twice. From here, multiply those values: 6*5*4 = 30*4 = 120
Interestingly, this is equal to 5! = 5*4*3*2*1 = 120 because the 3*2 becomes 6 and that *1 at the end doesn't affect things. Though usually results of permutation problems don't always end up like this. The order matters because a result like ABC is different from BAC, where A,B,C,D,E,F are the six school organizations.
As a slightly longer way to do the problem, you can use the nPr formula which is
where n = 6 and r = 3 in this case. The exclamation marks indicate factorial. If you go this route, you should find that one of the steps will involve 6*5*4.
