Answer:

52 dimes and 28 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

n = number of nickels

d = number of dimes

n+d = 80   the number of coins he got

Multiply the number of nickels times .05 plus the number of dimes times .10 to equal the amount of money he got

.05n + .10d = 6.60

Divide this equation by .05

.05n/.05  + .10/.05 = 6.60/.05

n + 2d = 132

n+d = 80

Multiply by -1

-n-d=-80

Add this to n+2d = 132

n+2d=132

-n-d=-80

-------------------

d = 52

Now we need to solve for n

n+d = 80

n+52 = 80

Subtract 52 from each side

n+52-52= 80-52

n = 28

Hannah has a biased coin.
muminat
Look at it this way:

When you flip a coin, the probability of it landing with EITHER side showing
is 100%. 

This leads us to the rule ...

               The sum of the probabilities of
               all possible outcomes is 100%.

For a coin:  (probability of heads) plus (probability of tails) = 100%.

That just says:  We're 100% sure that the coin will land with either
heads or tails up.

An "honest" coin gets heads 50% of the time and tails the other 50%.

But if the coin is all bent and squashed and has a feather stuck to
one side and a wad of gum on the other side so that it comes up
heads 70% of the time, then the coin isn't 'honest'.  But it still has to
land EITHER heads OR tails, so the sum of the probabilities is still 100%.

So the probability of heads is 30%.

An amount of 40.000 is borrowed for 6 years at 5% interest, compounded annually If the loan is paid in full at the end of that p
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

A  =  $56,740

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Compound Amount formula A = P(1 + r)^t.  Substitute 0.05 for r and $40,000 for P:

A = $40,000(1 + 0.05)^6

A  =  $56,740.26, or, rounded off to the nearest dollar,

A  =  $56,740
