Answer:

There are 20 pennies, 33 nickels and 11 quarts.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

1 penny = 1 cent

1 nickel = 5 pennies = 5 cent

1 quarter = 25 pennies = 25 cents

Let x be the number of pennies, y be the number of nickels and z be the number of quarts.

Total number of coins = 64

Amount of money = $4.60 = 460 cents

The, we have the following equations:

x +y +z =64\\x + 5y + 25z = 460

Also, we  have three times as many nickels as  quarters.

y = 3z

Putting this value in the above equation:

x + 4z =64\\x + 40z = 460

Solving the two equation, we have

x = 20, z = 11

y = 3z = 33

Hence, there are 20 pennies, 33 nickels and 11 quarts.

Answer:

There are 20 pennies, 33 nickels and 11 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

- You have 64 coins, consisting of pennies, nickels, and quarters

- The value of  the coins is $4.60

- Assume that there are p pennies, n nickles, and q quarters

∴ p + n + q = 64 ⇒ (1)

- Lets find the value of each types of coins

∵ 1 penny = 1 cent ⇒ p = p cents

∵ 1 nickel = 5 cents ⇒ n = 5n cents

∵ 1 quarter = 25 cents ⇒ q = 25q cents

∵ 1 dollar = 100 cents ⇒ $4.60 = 4.60 × 100 = 460 cents

∴ p + 5n + 25q = 460 ⇒ (2)

- You also know that you have three times as many nickels as  quarters

∴ n = 3q ⇒ (3) ⇒ the number of nickles by quarters

∵ 5n = 5(3q)

∴ 5n = 15q ⇒ (4) ⇒ the values of nickles by quarters

- Substitute (3) in equation (1) and (4) in equation (2)

∴ p + 3q + q = 64

∴ p + 4q = 64 ⇒ (5)

∴ p + 15q + 25q = 460

∴ p + 40q = 460 ⇒ (6)

- Subtract equation (5) from equation(6) to eliminate p

∴ 36q = 396

- Divide both sides by 36

∴ q = 11

- Substitute the value of q in equation (5)

∴ p + 4(11) = 64

∴ p + 44 = 64

- Subtract 44 from both sides

∴ p = 20

- Substitute the value of q in (3)

∴ n = 3(11) = 33

∴ n = 33

<em>There are 20 pennies, 33 nickels and 11 quarters</em>

This is the answer to Jo question
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The following mistakes could be explained observed from the plotted bar chart presented in the attachment :

1.) The numeric label of the y-axis which shows the number of text messages isn't well scaled, the numbering did not start from 0, hence this is a defect in the scaling of the bar chart.

2.) Looking closely, the plotted bars do not ALIGN well in terms of spacing as the interval between each bar isn't consistent.

3.) Both the x and y axis of the graph are t labeled thus failing to add a good and meaningful description to the plot especially for first time viewers.
