This is the concept of simultaneous equations. Let the number of dimes be x and that of quarters by y.
1 quarter =$0.25 
1 dime=$0.1
Total number of coins in piggy bank
x+y=64
thus
x=64-y.........i
Total amount will be:
0.1x+0.25y=10.30......ii
substituting i in ii and solve for y we get:
0.1(64-y)+0.25y=10.30
6.4-0.1y+0.25y=10.30
0.15y=10.30-6.4
0.15y=3.9
y=3.9/0.15
y=26
hence:
x=64-y=64-26=38
Therefore we conclude that there are 38 dimes and 26 quarters

Please help if the value of (x+1)^2-3 is 22 what is the value of (x+1)^2-5
Finger [1]
We could solve for x, but notice that the same expression is being squared in both (x+1)

if (x+1)^2 - 3 = 22 then
  (x+1)^2 = 25

that would mean that (x+1)^2 - 5 = 25 - 5 = 20

Round off 7284 to 1sf​
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

7000

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because when you round to the significant figure, you basically look at any digits at the start of the number, which isn't zero. In this case, it would be in the thousands place 7284. So you round 7284 to the nearest thousands, which, would be 7000

<span>280 I'm assuming that this question is badly formatted and that the actual number of appetizers is 7, the number of entres is 10, and that there's 4 choices of desserts. So let's take each course by itself. You can choose 1 of 7 appetizers. So we have n = 7 After that, you chose an entre, so the number of possible meals to this point is n = 7 * 10 = 70 Finally, you finish off with a dessert, so the number of meals is: n = 70 * 4 = 280 Therefore the number of possible meals you can have is 280. Note: If the values of 77, 1010 and 44 aren't errors, but are actually correct, then the number of meals is n = 77 * 1010 * 44 = 3421880 But I believe that it's highly unlikely that the numbers in this problem are correct. Just imagine the amount of time it would take for someone to read a menu with over a thousand entres in it. And working in that kitchen would be an absolute nightmare.</span>
