Answer:

1. Ernest has $82.5 and Gene has $117.5

2. c) 125x + 1500 = $20000

Step-by-step explanation:

If we mark Gene's half dollars with x, then it is given that Ernest has 8 more, which is x+8.

It is also given that Ernest has no quarters, but Gene has them as many as Ernest has half dollars, which is x+8.

And it is given that they both have 45 dimes each, which is $4.5 each.

Now, let's add up all these numbers:

Ernest: (x+8)•0.5 + 0•0.25 + 4.5 = 0.5x + 8.5

Gene: x•0.5 + (x+8)•0.25 + 4.5 = 0.75x + 6.5

They collected $200 together which means:

0.5x + 8.5 + 0.75x + 6.5 = $200

1.25x + 15 = $200

If we want to avoid decimal number, we can multiply whole equation with 100:

125x + 1500 = $20000

so, the correct answer is C.

Finally, to find x:

125x = 18500

x = 148

Ernest had 0.5x + 8.5 which is $82.5

Gene had 0.75x + 6.5 which is $117.5

The proof ABC ≅ DCB that is shown.
Schach [20]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

AAS

Explanation:

AAS stands for "angle-angle-side."  This states that if two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding two angles and non-included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

In these triangles, we have ∠CAB ≅ ∠CDB given to us to begin with.  Throughout the proof, we find that ∠ABC ≅ ∠DCB.  We also have that CB is congruent to itself.  This is two angles and a side not included, so this is AAS.
