The main idea here is to "translate" the words into maths.
First we need to identify the unknowns and label these.
We need to know the number if dimes and the number of quarters. So lets say
x: number of dimes
y: number of quarters
Now lets write equations from the written problem.
We know that there are 36 coind total, thus:
x + y = 36
We also know that the coins total 5.85 dollars, but it is better to count in cents, that is 585 cents.
x are the number of dimes, their value is x*10
y are quarters with value of y*25
thus:
10x+25y=585
We have two equations and two unknowns now, that needs to be solved to get the answer.
x + y = 36
10x+25y=585
Is there a specific question that you want to ask?
Answer:
$5
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the cost of a notepad considering a magazine costs $3 and we buy 2 notepads and the total cost of the magazine and the 2 notepads is $13 so we can set up an equation to represent this situation. Let 'n' be notepads and that's the value we are solving for so,
⇒ Form the equation
→ 2n + 3 = 13
⇒ Minus 3 from both sides to isolate 2n
→ 2n = 10
⇒ Divide both sides by 2 to find the cost of one notepad
→ n = 5
The cost of one notepad is $5 considering that a magazine cost's $3 and two notepads and total is $13.
