Answer:

The system of equation to determine the quantity of nickels and quarters is simultaneous equation.

Nickels = 17

Quarters = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let n represent number of nickels

Let q represent number of quarters

From line 1 of the question, we understand that

Total coins = 39

So, n + q = 39 because the made up of the nickels and the quarters

It's also stated that the total value of these 39 coins is $6.35.

First, it should be noted that

1 nickel is worth 0.05 and 1 quarter is worth 0.25, we can represent the total value of the coins with the following equation

0.05n + 0.25q = 6.35

At this point, we have two equation such can be solved simultaneously

n + q = 39 ------- (1)

0.05n + 0.25q = 6.35 ------- (2)

So, the system of equation to determine the quantity of nickels and quarters is simultaneous equation.

Solving further.....

Make q the subject of formula in equation (1)

q = 39 - n

Substitute 39 - n for q in equation 2

0.05n + 0.25q = 6.35 becomes

0.05n + 0.25(39 - n) = 6.35

0.05n + 9.75 - 0.25n = 6.35

Collect like terms

0.05n - 0.25n = 6.35 - 9.75

-0.2n = -3.4

Divide through by -0.2

-0.2n/-0.2 = -3.4/-0.2

n = 17

Recall that q = 39 - n

Substituton 17 for n in this equation

q = 39 - 17

q = 22

Hence, there are 17 nickels and 22 coins

The admission fee at amusement park is $1.50 for children and $4 for adults on a certain day 355 ppl entered the park and the ad
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

180 children and 175 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Let it be that the amount of children who visited the park that day was x, the rest was adults. It means the quantity of adults equals 355-x.

The payment from the children is 1.5*x (because each children payed 1.5 dollars, the amount of money from children is the fee from one child multiplied by the quantity of children). The money earned by the park's owners from adults are equal to the fee from one adult multiplied by the quantity  4* (355-x)= 1420 -4x

If we add the money from chilren and adults we get the summary profit of park (it is equal to 970 dollars)

1.5x+ 1420-4x= 970

1420-2.5x= 970

x=180- children

355-180=175adults
