X= number of dimes
x+6= number of quarters
5(x+6)= number of nickels
$5.40= 540 cents

Add the number of each coin and set it equal to the total in cents.


x + (x + 6) + 5(x + 6)= $5.40
multiply 5 by parentheses; change dollar total to cents

x + (x + 6) + (5 * x) + (5 * 6)= 540

x + (x + 6) + 5x + 30= 540
combine like terms

7x + 36= 540
subtract 36 from both sides

7x= 504
divide both sides by 7

x= 72 dimes

x + 6= 78 quarters

5(x + 6)= 390 nickels


CHECK
72 + 78 + 390= 540
540= 540


ANSWER: There are 72 dimes, 78 quarters and 390 nickels.

Hope this helps! :)

Your gross pay is $2,759.00. your involuntary deductions are fica (7.65%), federal withholding (12%), and state withholding (7%)
max2010maxim [7]
Gross pay = $2,759.00
Total deductions = 7.65%+12%+7% = 26.65% = 0.2665

By thumb rule, rent and other fixed expenses ≤ 28% of Monthly gross salary

Therefore,
Allowed housing and fixed expenses = 0.28*2,759 = $772.52

Then, a. is the correct answer.

Find the product of the complex numbers. Express your answer in trigonometric form. z1 = 5(cos(25) + isin(25)) z2 = 2(cos(80) +
zmey [24]

solution:

Z1 = 5(cos25˚+isin25˚)

Z2  = 2(cos80˚+isin80˚)

Z1.Z2  = 5(cos25˚+isin25˚). 2(cos80˚+isin80˚)

Z1.Z2  = 10{(cos25˚cos80˚ + isin25˚cos80˚+i^2sin25˚sin80˚) }

Z1.Z2  =10{(cos25˚cos80˚- sin25˚sin80˚+ i(cos25˚sin80˚+sin25˚cos80˚))}

(i^2 = -1)

Cos(A+B) = cosAcosB – sinAsinB

Sin(A+B) = sinAcosB + cosAsinB

Z1.Z2 = 10(cos(25˚+80˚) +isin(25˚+80˚)

 Z1.Z2     = 10(cos105˚+ isin105˚)

De que numero es 552 el 8%menos

8% of 552 is 44.16. Look at the percent sign as a decimal and move it two places to the left, that'll give you 0.08. To find 8% of 552, look at it as 0.08 multiplied by 552. After you multiply you should get 44.16.
