Answer:

x = number of nickels = 127

y = number of dimes = 156

z = number of quarters = 78

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of nickels

y = number of dimes

z = number of quarters

Total worth of the coins = $41.45

Total number of coins = 361

x + y + z = 361 (1)

dime = $0.1,

nickel = $0.05

quarter = $0.25

0.05x + 0.1y + 0.25z = 41.45 (2)

twice as many dimes as quarters.

y = 2z

Substitute y = 2z into (1) and (2)

x + 2z + z = 361

0.05x + 0.1(2z) + 0.25z = 41.45

x + 3z = 361

0.05x + 0.2z + 0.25z = 41.45

x + 3z = 361 (3)

0.05x + 0.45z = 41.45 (4)

Multiply (4) by 20

x + 3z = 361 (3)

x + 9z = 829 (5)

Subtract (3) from (5)

9z - 3z = 829 - 361

6z = 468

Divide both sides by 6

z = 468 / 6

= 78

z= 78

Recall,

y = 2z

= 2(78)

= 156

y = 156

Substitute the value of y and z into

x + y + z = 361

x + 156 + 78 = 361

x + 234 = 361

x = 361 - 234

= 127

x= 127

x = number of nickels = 127

y = number of dimes = 156

z = number of quarters = 78

Write the percent as a decimal and as a fraction.
Svetlanka [38]
The given percent above is 215%. To convert this into decimal, let us divide this by 100. 215 / 100 and we get 2.15. So the decimal form of 215% is 2.15. Next, convert it into a fraction. Given the decimal form of 2.15, this is already equivalent to 2 15/100. To simplify this, since both 15 and 100 are divisible by 5, we get 3/20. Therefore, the fraction is 2 3/20. So the correct answer is option B. 2.15; 2 3/20.

The goals against average (A) for a professional hockey goalie is determined using the formula A = 60 a equals 60 left-parenthes
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Option 1 - \frac{At}{60}=g

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The goals against average (A) for a professional hockey goalie is determined using the formula A=60(\frac{g}{t} ). In the formula, g represents the number of goals scored against the goalie and t represents the time played, in minutes.

To find : Which is an equivalent equation solved for g?

Solution :

Solve the formula in terms of g,

A=60(\frac{g}{t})

Multiply both side by t,

At=60g

Divide both side by 60,

\frac{At}{60}=\frac{60g}{60}

\frac{At}{60}=g

Therefore, option 1 is correct.
