Sue has 100 dimes and quarters. If the total value of the coins is $21.40, how many of each kind of coin does she have?

1 answer:

8 0

Let's set up the equations we know.
Q+D=100, where Q=number of quarters, and D=number of dimes
.25Q + .1D = 21.40 (because a quarter is worth .25 and a dime worth .10)

Using the first equation, let's isolate one of our variables. I'll pick Q.
Q+D=100
Subtract D from each side
Q=100 - D

Now that we have this new equation, let's plug it into our second equation.
.25Q + .1D = 21.40
.25(100-D) + .1D = 21.40
Distribute the .25
25 - .25D + .1 D = 21.40
Combine like terms
25 - .15D = 21.40
Subtract 21.40 from each side
3.6 - .15D = 0
Add .15 D to each side
3.6 = .15D
Divide each side by .15
D = 24

Now that we have D, we can solve for Q
Q= 100 - D
= 100 - 24
Q = 76

Sue has 24 dimes and 76 quarters.

Let's check our work to make sure.
.25(76) + .1(24) =
19 + 2.4 = 21.4 √

Plz help me with this math and also explain

jasenka [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

SI = $250
Rate (R) = 12 $\sf \dfrac{1}{2}$ %
Time (t) = 4 years

$\longrightarrow \tt { SI = \dfrac{PRT}{100} } \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { 250 = \dfrac{P \times 12\cfrac{1}{2} \times 4}{100} } \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { 250 = \dfrac{P \times \cfrac{25}{2} \times 4}{100} } \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { 250 = \dfrac{P \times 25 \times 2}{100} } \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { 250 = \dfrac{P \times 50}{100} } \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { 250 \times 100 = P \times 50} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { 25000 = P \times 50} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { \dfrac{25000}{50} = P } \\$

$\longrightarrow \underline{\boxed{ \green{ \tt { \$ \; 500 = P }}}} \\$

Therefore principal is $500.

2/7 of the balls are red.
3/5 of the balls are blue.
Rest are yellow.
Number of yellow balls = 36

Let the total number of balls be x.

→ Red balls + Blue balls + Yellow balls = Total number of balls

$\longrightarrow \tt{ \dfrac{2}{7}x + \dfrac{3}{5}x + 36 = x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ \dfrac{10x + 21x + 1260}{35} = x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ \dfrac{31x + 1260}{35} = x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ 31x + 1260= 35x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ 1260= 35x-31x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ 1260= 4x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ \dfrac{1260 }{4}= x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \underline{\boxed{ \tt { 315 = x }}} \\$

Total number of balls is 315.

A/Q,

3/5 of the balls are blue.

$\longrightarrow \tt{ Balls_{(Blue)} =\dfrac{3 }{5}x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ Balls_{(Blue)} =\dfrac{3 }{5}(315)} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ Balls_{(Blue)} = 3(63)} \\$

$\longrightarrow \underline{\boxed{ \green {\tt { Balls_{(Blue)} = 189 }}}} \\$

In parallelogram LMNO,NO=10.2 and LO=14.7 what is the perimeter of parallelogram LMNO?

Shtirlitz [24]

In parallelogram LMNO, NO = 10.2, and LO = 14.7. The basic property of a parallelogram that the opposite sides in a parallelogram are equal; so, two sides are 10.2 (NO=LM=10.2), and two sizes are 14.7, = (LO=MN=14.7).
The perimeter of the parallelogram LMNO is:
P= 2NO + 2LO.
P= (2 x 10.2)+(2 x 14.7).
P= 20.4 + 29.4.

So, P= 49.8.
