1 / 10 is the easiest answer. Remember ratios are just percentages. It could also be 2/20, 3/30, as long as it is 10%.
Answer:
Joey has 18 nickles and 27 dimes in his piggy bank.
Step-by-step explanation:
1 nickle = 5 cents
1 dime = 10 cents
$1 = 100 cents
$3.15 = 135 cents
Let
n represent the number of nickles, n>=0
d represent the number of dimes, d>=0
Joey counted a total of 45 coins that added up to $3.15:
n + d = 45
5n + 10d = 315
n = 18 nickles
d = 27 dimes
Answer: the cost per unit of gas is $0.28
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost per unit of electricity.
Let y represent the cost per unit of gas.
During one month, a homeowner used 500 units of electricity and 100 units of gas for a total cost of $333. This is expressed as
500x + 100y = 333 - - - -- - -- - -- -1
The next month, 400 units of electricity and 150 units of gas were used for a total cost of $286. This is expressed as
400x + 150y = 286 - - - - - - - - - --2
Multiplying equation 1 by 400 and equation 2 by 500, it becomes
200000x + 40000y = 133200
200000x + 75000y = 143000
Subtracting, it becomes
- 35000y = - 9800
y = - 9800/- 35000
y = 0.28
Substituting y = 0.28 into equation 2, it becomes
400x + 150 × 0.28 = 286
400x = 286 - 42 = 244
x = 244/400 = 0.61
