Irrational is the correct answer
The 50 is the error because cents are represented with decimals so it has to be .50
Answer:14
Step-by-step explanation:
A nickel is 5 cents (20% of dollar)
and a quarter is 25 cents (25% of dollar)
We have given a pile of 42 coins worth of $4.90
Let x be the no nickels and
y be the no of quarter
therefore
x+y=42 -----1
+
=4.90 ---2
Solving
we get
x=14 & y=28
Therefore no of nickels is 14 & no of quarters is 28
D=number of dimes
q=number of quarters
let's count everything in cents
dimes are worth 10 cents
quarters are worth 25 cents
10d+25q=700
divide both sides by 5
2d+5q=140
he has 7 more quarters than dimes
q=7+d
subsitute 7+d for q in other equation
2d+5q=140
2d+5(7+d)=140
2d+35+5d=140
7d+35=140
minus 35 both sides
7d=105
divide both sides by 7
d=15
sub back
q=7+d
q=7+15
q=22
22 quarters and 15 dimes
