Let q = number of quarters.
Let p = number of pennies.

A quarter is worth $0.25. q quarters are worth 0.25q.
A penny is worth $0.01. p pennies are worth 0.01p.
All coins together are worth 0.25q + 0.01p.

We are told that all coins together are worth $8.58, so 0.25q + 0.01p must equal 8.58.

0.25q + 0.01p = 8.58

That is our first equation.

She has 8 times as many pennies as quarters, so

p = 8q

That is our second equation.

We have a system of equations.

0.25q + 0,.01p = 8.58
p = 8q

Since the second equation is already solved for p, we can use the substitution method.

We will substitute 8q for p in the first equation.

0.25q + 0.01p = 8.58

0.25q + 0.01(8q) = 8.58

0.25q + 0.08q = 8.58

0.33q = 8.58

q = 26

p = 8q = 8 * 26 = 208

She has 26 quarters and 208 pennies.

Check:
26 quarters are worth 26 * $0.25 = $6.50
208 pennies are worth $2.08
$6.58 + $2.08 = $8.58
The value of the coi8ns is correct.

Also, 208/26 = 8. The number of pennies is really 8 times the number of quarters.

Our solution is correct.

Hamid has gained weight. He now weights 88kg, which is 10% higher than his normal weight. What is Hamids normal weight
zubka84 [21]

Let his normal weight = 100%

He is 10% more so he is 110%

Divide his weight now by 110% to find his normal weight.

88/1.1 = 80

His normal weight is 80 kg

Jean-pierre consumes only apples and bananas. he prefers more apples to less, but he gets tired of bananas. if he consumes fewer
Art [367]
Bundle (31 , 40) has 40 bananas.
So 40 - 28 = 12 bananas
These 12 banana give the consumer negative utility which will be balance one for one apple.
So we have to need 12 apple to balance it.
So the final utility of apples and banana is 28 + (31 - 12) = 28 + 19 = 43
In second bundle (X , 23) has 23 bananas. We need to get the same utility 43.
Which we will get from 43 - 23 = 20 apples.
So X equal to 23.
