A) .10 d + .25 q = 7.75
B) d + q = 40

Multiplying B) by -.10
B)  -.10d -.10q = -4.0
Then adding this to A)
A) .10 d + .25 q = 7.75
.15q = 3.75

Quarters = 25
Therefore, dimes = 15
***************************************************
Double-Check
A) .10 d + .25 q = 7.75
A) .10 * 15 d + .25 * 25 = 7.75
A) 1.50 + 6.25 = 7.75

Correct!!

ZanzabumX [31]

Complete question :

Write a system of equations, with one equation describing the cost to bowl at Bowl-o-Rama and the other describing the cost to bowl at Bowling Pinz. For each equation, let x represent the number of games played and let y represent the total cost.

Bowl-O-Rama rents shoes for $2 and each game cost $2.50

Bowling Pinz rents shoes for $4 and each game cost $2

Answer:

Bowl-O-Rama:

y = $2 + $2.50x

Bowling pinz:

y = $4 + $2x

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost is the sum of shoe rental plus the product of the unit game rate and the number of games played.

Total cost, y

x = number of games played

Bowl-O-Rama:

y = Shoe rent + (unit rate per game * number of games)

y = $2 + ($2.50 * x)

y = $2 + $2.50x

Bowling Pinz :

y = Shoe rent + (unit rate per game * number of games)

y = $4 + ($2 * x)

y = $4 + $2x

Answer:

9 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the pyramid be h cm, then the height of the cuboid is (15 - h) cm.

Volume of the pyramid:

= 1/3 * h * s^2      where s is the length of a side of the square base.

= hs^2/3 cm^3

Volume of the cuboid:

= s^2(15 - h).

So we have:

hs^2/ 3 = 300.......................(1)

s^2(15 - h) = 600..................(2)

From  equation (1) :

h s^2 = 900

s^2 = 900/h

Now substitute for s^2 in  equation (2) :

(900/h)(15 - h) = 600

Multiply through by h:

900(15 - h) = 600h

13500 - 900h = 600h

1500h = 13500

h = 9 cm (answer).                  brainliest?

In the Minnesota Northstar Cash Drawing, you pick five different numbers between 1 and 35. What is the probability of picking th
maw [93]

Answer:

\frac{1}{324632} probability of picking the winning combination

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Since the order is not important, the combinations formula is used to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

Desired outcomes:

The correct five numbers from a set of 5. So

D = C_{5,5} = \frac{5!}{5!0!} = 1

Total outcomes:

Five numbers from a set of 35. So

T = C_{35,5} = \frac{35!}{5!30!} = 324632

Probability:

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{1}{324632}

\frac{1}{324632} probability of picking the winning combination
