I imagine the part you left out was "how many of each coin did she have?".  I'm going with that.  The thing is you have to relate the NUMBER of coins to each other, which is very different from the VALUE of the coins.  I could have 1 single quarter, but it's worth 25 cents.  Number vs. value.  If she had 38 coins made up of dimes and quarters, then d + q = 38.  That's the number of dimes and quarters, both still unknown.  A dime is worth .10 and a quarter is .25.  Therefore, .10d + .25q = 6.95.  That's the value of the coins.  Solve the first equation for dimes.  d = 38 - q.  Now we can sub in that value of d into the second equation, so we have only one unknown instead of 2.  .10(38-q)+.25q=6.95.  Distribute through the parenthesis to get 3.8-.1q+.25q=6.95.  Combine all the like terms on both sides to get.15q=3.15.  Solve for q and get that q = 21.  So we have 21 quarters.  38-21 = # of dimes, which is 17.  There you go!  Hope that's what you actually needed!  ;)

A) d + q = 38
B)  .1d +.25q = 6.95
Multiply A) by -.1
A) -.1d + -.1q = -3.8The adding B)B)  .1d +.25q = 6.95
.15q = 3.15
21 quarters17 dime

17 * .10 + 21 * .25 = 
1.70 + 5.25 = 
6.95

Which is the biggest number 2.07 2.24 2.4 2 2.04
Temka [501]
Among all these no., see the first no. that lies before or left side of decimal point, here... 2 is common so next check the no. After decimal... 2.0, 2.2, 2.4, 2 is considered as 2.0 and then we have 2.0... Let's not take 2.0s and let's take 2.2 and 2.4 which is greater than 2.0. Next see the second no. That comes after decimal We have 2.24 and 2.4 which can be taken as 2.40... The no.s after decimal, 24 is greater than 40 so 2.4 is greater...

MARK AS BRAINLIEST
Arisa [49]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Initial price = $2.00

Final price = $2.50

First we subtract the final price to the inicial price

              increment = 2.50 - 2.00

                                = $0.50    It's the amount that the school increases to the community members

            Now we use a rule of three to find the percent

                 $2.00 ----------------------  100%

                 $0.50  ---------------------    x

x = 0.50 x 100/2 = 50/2 = 25%
