<u>the question is </u> Calculate the value of the copper in the coin

Step 1

Find the volume of the coin

we know that

the volume of a cylinder is equal to

V=\pi r^{2}h

where

r is the radius of the coin

h is the thickness of the coin

in this problem we have

Diameter=19 mm=1.9 cm

r=D/2------> r=1.9/2=0.95 cm

h=1.5 mm=0.15 cm

substitute the values in the formula

V=\pi*0.95^{2}*0.15=0.425\ cm^{3}

Step 2

<u>Find the mass of copper in the coin</u>

we know that

the density is equal to

Density=mass/volume

Solve for the mass

mass=Density*volume

we have

Density=8.9\ gr/cm^{3}\\Volume=0.425\ cm^{3}

substitute in the formula

mass=8.9*0.425=3.785\ gr

Step 3

<u>Find the cost</u>

we know that

the market price of the copper is $2.15 per pound

1 pound=453.592 grams

convert gram to pounds

3.785 gr=3.785/453.592=0.0083 pounds

0.0083*$2.15=$0.018=$0.02

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

$0.02

<span>If you used the phone 130 minutes from 6 am to 7 pm, that would cost $13.00. 400 minutes from 7 pm to 6 am at a 10% discount would cost you $36.00. Add totals to get $49.00. Tax at 6% is 2.94. Your total bill would be $51.94.

Total bill = (0.10+0.06) x 130 + (0.10+0.06) x 400 x 0.90
              = $ 51.94</span>

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

x≤−6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your inequality step-by-step.

4(x−3)−7x≥6

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality.

−3x−12≥6

Step 2: Add 12 to both sides.

−3x−12+12≥6+12

−3x≥18

Step 3: Divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

≥
