D=2n
.05n+.1d=3.5
I multiplied the nickels and dimes by these values because that is their actual monetary value
.05n=3.5-.1d
multiply everything by 20
n=70-2d
d/2=70-2d
.5d+2d=70
2.5d=70
d=28
n=14
so there are <u>28 dimes and 14 nickels
</u>checking this answer
28 dimes = $2.8
14 nickels = .70
2.8+.7=3.5
JKM = M + L
15x - 48 = 40 + 5x + 12
10x - 48 = 52
10x = 100
x = 10
JKM = 15(10) - 48 = 102
180 = JKM + MKL
180 = 102 + MKL
MKL = 180 - 102 = 78
Answer:
20 cats
Step-by-step explanation:
A proportion has to be setup to answer this
5/4 = 25/x
x represents the missing number of cats
This fraction represents the relationship amongst dogs and cats
----
To solve cross multiply
5x = 100
(let me down below if you need an explanation on how to cross multiply)
Divide both sides by 5 in order to get the variable by itself
100/5 = 20
x = 20
The shelter has 20 cats
