Answer:
24 quarters and 49 nickels
Step-by-step explanation:
This situation has two unknowns - the total number of nickels and the total number of quarters. Because we have two unknowns, we will write a system of equations with two equations using the two unknowns.
- n+q=73 is an equation representing the total number of coins
- 0.05n+0.25q=8.45 is an equation representing the total value in money based on the number of coin. 0.05 and 0.25 come from the value of a nickel and quarter individually.
We write the first equation in terms of q by subtracting it across the equal sign to get n=73-q. We now substitute this for n in the second equation.
0.05(73-q)+0.25q=8.45
3.65-0.05q+0.25q=8.45
3.65+0.20q=8.45
After simplifying, we subtract 3.65 across and divide by the coefficient of q.
0.20q=4.8
q=24
We now know of the 73 coins that 24 are quarters. To find the number of nickels, we subtract 24 from 73 and get 49 nickels.
Answer:
(2, 34 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the points vary inversely then half the x, means double the y, thus
(2, 34) or (1, 68 ) would also belong in this inverse variation
We'll use the slope-intercept form y = mx + b. Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
We know the slope, -1/5. Now the equation looks like y = (-1/5)m + b
To find the y-intercept, plug in the ordered pair that the question gave us into our equation and solve for b.
7 = (-1/5)(-3) + b
7 = 0.6 + b
6.4 = b
b = 6 2/5
So, the y-intercept will be at 6 2/5.
Try using a calculator i don't have one on me sorry :(
