Certain means the event will happen.
Impossible means the event would never happen.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up two equations with the information given-- and things you know from experience: a penny is worth 1 cent and a nickel is worth 5 cents. $ 2.38 is 238 cents (so you can eliminate decimals for now)
Put those values into an equation about the total value:
p + 5n = 238
and you know the total number of coins is 66.
p + n = 66
get a value for p by "solving" (subtract n from both sides)
p = 66-n
Substitute that value for p in the first equation. Then solve.
(66 -n) + 5n = 238
4n = 238-66 Then isolate n by dividing both sides by 4
n = 172/4
n = 43 Substitute that in the second equation, then solve for p
p + 43 = 66 p = 66 - 43
p = 23
So Chuck has 23 pennies and 43 nickels
Answer:
the cost of the small package
Step-by-step explanation:
I hope this is correct. I'm sorry if it's not...
We have been given that a rectangular auditorium seats 1702 people. Also, the number of seats in each row exceeds the number of rows by 9.
Let us assume that there are x rows in the auditorium. Therefore, there must be (x+9) seats in the each row. This will also be equal to the number of columns in the auditorium.
Therefore, we can set up an equation as:
We can now factor this quadratic as shown below:
Upon solving this equation, we get:
Since number of rows cannot be negative. Therefore, there must be 37 rows in the auditorium. And hence, the number of seats in each row will be 37+9=46 seats.
