We assume the question is intended to say there are a total of 20 quarters, nickels, and dimes, the value of which is $2.05. The number of dimes is 3 times the number of quarters.

Let q, n, d represent the numbers of quarters, nickels, and dimes, respectively. Then you have three equations in the unknowns:
  q +n +d = 20
  25q +5n +10d = 205
  -3q +d = 0

A calculator can give the solution to this matrix equation in short order. It is
  q = 3
  n = 8
  d = 9

There are 3 quarters, 8 nickels, and 9 dimes.

_____
If you use the third equation to write an expression for d, you can substitute that into the other two equations.
  q +n +3q = 20
  25q +5n +10(3q) = 205
Simplifying, these are
  4q +n = 20
  11q +n = 41
Subtracting the first from the second, we find
  7q = 21
  q = 3
From there, it is easy to find d=9, n=8.

"How much do students pay, on average, for textbooks during the first semester in college? From a random sample of 400 students
dezoksy [38]

Answer: The margin of error = 3.71, confidence interval = (354.04, 361.46) and it means that mean cost is lies within the confidence interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Sample size = 400

Mean = $357.75

Standard deviation = $37.89

At 95% confidence level, z = 1.96

We first find the margin of error.

Margin of error is given by

z\times \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=1.96\times \dfrac{37.89}{\sqrt{400}}\\\\=3.71

95% confidence interval would be

\bar{x}\pm \text{margin of error}\\\\=357.75\pm 3.71\\\\=(357.75-3.71,357.75+3.71)\\\\=(354.04,361.46)

Hence, the margin of error = 3.71, confidence interval = (354.04, 361.46) and it means that mean cost is lies within the confidence interval.

The catch-up effect says that low-income countries can grow faster
kari74 [83]

worldwide markets are already established with bis stakeholders like McD, Appe, MS, Aldi Car Manufacturers etc.

so seeing a big corporation emerging from an underdeveloped country would be kind of a suprising thing to happen.

also, economically developed countries are likely to have stable trade relationships with other countries. giving them an edge over outsiders.

Already existing infrastructure might also be a concern to keep in mind when planning your business. It's nice to have mobility, internet, electricity, water at you tap.

I guess there could even be some kind of language barrier for many countries with an insufficient educational system. that might hinder individuals to participate in the global market and community.

Solve the system of equations. 2.5y + 3x = 27 5x – 2.5y = 5 What equation is the result of adding the two equations? What is the
Nitella [24]

Answer:

The solution to this system is (4, 1/6).

Step-by-step explanation:

Please separate these two equations for clarity.  I like to write them in column format:

2.5y + 3x = 27

5x – 2.5y = 5

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

8x           = 32, and x = 4.

Subbing 4 for x in the second equation yields 5(4) - 2.5y = 5.

Then 20 - 2.5y = 5, or 15 = 2.5y.  Solving for y, we get y = 1/6.

The solution to this system is thus (4, 1/6).
