Answer:

David find <u>8</u> quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

David was in need for some money so he decided to clean out the water fountain at the mall he found 20 nickels and quarters.

The collection of nickels and quarters totaled to 2.6.

Now, to find the quarters David find.

Let the number of nickels be x

And the number of quarters be y

Thus, the number of nickels and quarters he found:

x+y=20.

⇒ x=20-y.........( 1 )

The totaled of nickels and quarters:

0.05x+0.25y=2.6

(As 1 nickel=$0.05 and 1 quarter=$0.25)

Now, putting the equation ( 1 ) in the place of x we get:

0.05(20-y)+0.25y=2.6

⇒ 1-0.05y+0.25y=2.6

⇒ 1+0.20y=2.6

<em>Subtracting both sides by 1 we get:</em>

⇒ 0.20y=1.6

<em>Dividing both sides by 0.20 we get:</em>

⇒ y = 8.

So, the quarters = 8.

Therefore, David find 8 quarters.

Bobby earns $9 per hour and $6 for each delivery he makes. He wants to earn more than $155 an 8 hour work day. What is the least
s344n2d4d5 [400]
Answer: 14

Explanation:
9*8=72
You have to multiply the 9 per hour times the 8 hour work day.
155-72=83
We have to get $83 in deliveries.
83/6=13.8333...
The $83 dollars we have to earn in deliveries divided by the $6 we earn for each delivery equals 13.8333...
This means that Bobby must at least have 14 deliveries to reach his goal. (You can’t have a fraction of a delivery)
