rters. Gene has as many quarters as Ernest has half dollars, and each has 45 dimes. How many of each coin has each saved for the big day when $200 has been saved? Which of the following equations could represent the word problem if x is the number of half dollars that Gene has?a. 3x + 106 = 200
b. 125x + 916 = 20,000

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

How to factor the algebraic expression 24a + 28
bonufazy [111]
So use undistributive properyt]
ab+ac=a(b+c)
so factor 24a dadn 28 to find 'a' the common factor
24=2 times 2 times 2 times 3 tiems a
28=2 times 2 times 7
common one is 2 itmes 2=4
a=4
4(2 times3 times a)+4(7)=4(6a)+4(7)=4(6a+7)

PLS HELP 50 PTS

c. 35 + 50x ≤ 1,325

Step-by-step explanation:

Abbey's total cost must be less then or equal to her total savings, i.e.

cost ≤ savings

it is given that cost = fixed registration fee and a monthly fee of $50 per month. Hence,

fixed registration + (monthly fee)*(number of months) ≤ savings

let the number of months be x,

hence

35 + 50x ≤ 1325(c)
