You would do percent of change.
meaning you would subract 65 and 50 to get 15. then you would put 15 over 50 (as a fraction) then equals r/100. then you would cross multiply to get r.
orginal:50
new:65
65-50=15
15/50=r/100
15r=5000
then divide by 15 to get r
A collection of nickels and dimes is worth $4.40. There are 53 coins in all. How many nickels are there?
Nickel is a US coin worth 5 cents or 0.05.
Dime is a US coin worth 10 cents or 0.10
n + d = 53
0.05n + 0.10d = 4.40
n = 53 - d
0.05(53 - d) + 0.10d = 4.40
2.65 - 0.05d + 0.10d = 4.40
0.05d = 4.40 - 2.65
0.05d = 1.75
d = 1.75 / 0.05
d = 35
n = 53 - d
n = 53 - 35
n = 18
There are 18 nickels and 35 dimes.
0.05n + 0.10d = 4.40
0.05(18) + 0.10(35) = 4.40
0.90 + 3.5 = 4.40
4.40 = 4.40
