When solving systems of equations we have at least two unknowns. A common example of a system of equations is a price problem. F

or example, Jacob has 60 coins consisting of quarters and dimes. The coins combined value is $9.45. Find out how many of each (quarters and dimes) Jacob has. What do the unknowns in this system represent and what are the two equations that that need to be solved? Finally, solve the system of equations.

Answer:

a. The unknowns in the equation above are q and d that represent the number of quarters and dimes respectively.

b. The two equations that need to be solved are; q+d=60...equation 1, and

0.25 q+0.1 d=9.45...equation 2

c.

Number of dimes, d=37

Number of quarters, q=23

Explanation:

a.

<em>Step 1: Derive equation for determining total number of coins.</em>

The total number of coins can be derived using the expression below;

T=q+d

where;

T=total number of coins

q=number of quarters

d=number of dimes

In our case;

T=60 coins

q=unknown

d=unknown

replacing;

q+d=60...equation 1

The unknowns in the equation above are q and d that represent the number of quarters and dimes respectively.

b.

<em>Step 2: Derive equation for determining combined value of coins.</em>

V=(q×Q)+(d×D)

where;

V=total value of the coins

q=number of quarters

Q=unit value of a quarter in dollars

d=number of dimes

D=unit value of a dime in dollars

In our case;

V=$9.45

q=unknown

Q=$0.25

d=unknown

D=$0.10

replacing;

9.45=(0.25×q)+(0.10×d)

9.45=0.25 q+0.1 d

0.25 q+0.1 d=9.45...equation 2

<em>Step 3: Combine equation 1 and 2 and solve simultaneously</em>

(q+d=60)×0.25 >>>>>>>>>>>> 0.25 q+0.25 d=15

                                                 -

(0.25 q+0.1 d=9.45)×1>>>>>>> 0.25 q+0.1 d=9.45

(0.25 q-0.25 q)+(0.25 d-0.1 d)=15-9.45

0 q+0.15 d=5.55

0.15 d=5.55

d=5.55/0.15=37

d=37

Substitute the value of d in equation 1;

q+d=60

and q=37

37+q=60

q=60-37=23

q=23

You can purchase an item you need for a project for $10,000 and it has daily operating costs of $500, or you can lease the item
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

On the 50th day, the purchase cost will be equal to the lease cost

Explanation:

Given that:

  • Daily operating costs of $500
  • Purchasing cost for the item:  $10,000
  • Lease amount: $700

Let x is the number of days the purchase cost be the same as the lease cost. As we now that:

The total cost should be equal to the total lease received

<=> 10,000 + 500x = 700x

<=> 200x = 10000

<=> x = 50

Hence, on the 50th day, the purchase cost will be equal to the lease cost

Answer:

Cash balance according to the bank $23,557.98

+ deposits in transit $12,125.25

- outstanding check N⁰ 124 ($62)

- outstanding check N⁰ 125 ($42)

- outstanding check N⁰ 129 ($1,250)

adjusted bank balance = $34,329.23

Cash account balance $51,596.88

+ note collected by bank $15,250.75

- NSF check ($23,475.40)

- Bank fees ($250)

- Error in recording check N⁰ 125 ($9,000)

adjusted cash account balance = $34,122.23

two errors were detected:

  1. outstanding check N⁰ 125 correct amount is ($24)
  2. bank fees are $25

so the readjusted balances are:

adjusted bank balance = $34,329.23 + ($42 - $24) = $34,347.23

adjusted cash account balance = $34,122.23 + ($250 - $25) = $34,347.23

now both accounts are equal.
