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 √

A driver travels for 2 hours at 80 miles per hour, during
algol [13]

Answer:

$84

Step-by-step explanation:

Find how many miles she traveled by multiplying 80 and 2.

80 × 2 = 160 miles

Next find out how much she gets paid for her mileage by multiply $0.60 and 160.

160 × $0.60 = $96.00

Now find out how much she spent on gas. She gets 40 miles per gallon so solve how many gallons she used by dividing 160 by 40.

160 ÷ 40 = 4 gallons

Then multiply 4 gallons by $3.00

4 × 3 = $12

To find the net rate of pay subtract 96 and 12

$96 - $12 = $84

We are studying the proportion of cities that have private garbage collector. We want a maximum error of 0.10 and a 95% confiden
True [87]

Answer:

The minimum number of cities we need to contact is 96.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence interval 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

Z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

95% confidence interval

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

In this problem, we have that:

p = 0.5, M = 0.1

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.1 = 1.96*\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}

0.1\sqrt{n} = 0.98

\sqrt{n} = 9.8

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (9.8)^{2}

n = 96

The minimum number of cities we need to contact is 96.
