Let’s make x = # of nickels. Then 3x = # of dimes and 3x+6 = # of pennies. A nickel is 5 cents, a dime is 10 cents and a penny is 1 cent.
The money she has should be .05(x) + .10(3x) + .01(3x+6) = 4.62 or to make it simpler: 5(x) + 10(3x) + 1(3x+6) = 462.
5x + 30x + 3x + 6 = 462
38x + 6 = 462
38x = 456
x = 12.
So she has 12 nickels (12 * $0.05 = $0.60), 36 dimes (36 * $0.10 = $3.60) and 42 pennies (42 * $0.01 = $0.42). $3.60 + $0.60 + $0.42 = $4.62.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply it by 0.75, or find 3/4 of that number. Whichever you prefer! The first one always works though the second one sometimes does but sometimes 3/4 of the number isn't that obvious.
X - 2y = - 9
7x + 2y = 1
x - 2y = - 9
(+)
7x + 2y = 1
___________
8x = - 8
x = - 1
- 1 - 2y = - 9
2y = 8
y = 4

A ton is equivalent to 1000 pounds so:
the elephant weighs 5000 pounds
5000-570= 4430
The elephants weighs 4430 pounds more.
