X= dimes
Three times as many = 3x= nickels

Dimes are worth 10 cents = 0.10x
Nickels are worth 5 cents = 0.05(3x)

Add both together & solve:

0.10x+0.05(3x)= 25
0.10+0.15x= 25
0.25x=25
Divide both sides by 0.25
x= 100 dimes
Substitute the value of x to find 3x
3x = 3(100)= 300 nickels

Hope this helps!! :)

A jar of natural peanut butter normally cost four dollars today it's on sale for $3.60 what is the percentage of the discount
kakasveta [241]
$4 is the original price of the jar consisting of peanut butter so therefor it = 100%. It's for sale at $3.60, so we divide $4 by 100% so we get the percentage for each cent and then we times it by 3.60 to get the percentage for $3.60 which is 90%. Now we subtract 90% from 100% to get the discounted percentage for 40cents :)
