Jimmy received 122 pennies more than Andre

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that , Sam, Jimmy, and Andre shared a number of pennies in the ratio 8:5:3

Sam and Andre received a total of 671 pennies.  

Now, let the H.C.F of number of pennies with them be "x"

Then, number of pennies with Sam will be 8x

Number of pennies with Jimmy will be 5x

Number of pennies with Andre will be 3x

Now, we know that, Sam and Andre has a total of 671 pennies

\begin{array}{l}{\Rightarrow \quad 8 x+3 x=671} \\\\ {\Rightarrow \quad 11 x=671} \\\\ {\Rightarrow \quad x=61}\end{array}

\begin{array}{l}{\text { Then, Sam will have } 8 \times 61=488 \text { pennies, }} \\\\ {\text { Jimmy will have } 5 \times 61=305 \text { pennies, }} \\\\ {\text { Andre will have } 3 \times 61=183 \text { pennies. }}\end{array}

<em><u>Calculating how many more pennies Jimmy received than Andre:</u></em>

Number of Pennies Jimmy received more than Andre = Pennies with jimmy - Pennies with Andre

= 305 – 183 = 122

Hence, jimmy has 122 pennies more than Andre

As per the isosceles triangle theorem, if the two base angles are congruent then the legs are also congruent, so we must set the two legs equal to each other:

2z - 15 = 9

Add 15 to both sides:

15 - 15 = 0
15 + 9 = 24

Divide 2 from each side:

2z = 24

2z/2 = z

24/2 = 12

z = 12

Hence, the answer would be D: z = 12
