Answer:

The number of $ 10 bills is 37, the number of $ 20 is 6 and the number of $ 50 bills is 22.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n₁ = number of $ 10 bills,

Let n₂ = number of $ 20 bills and

Let n₃ = number of $ 50 bills

Given that 10n₁ + 20n₂ + 50n₃ = 1550    (1)

Also, since we have fifteen more​ $10 bills than​ $50 bills, n₁ = n₃ + 15  (2)

and we have 4 more than three times as many​ $20 bills as​ $50 bills. n₃ = 3n₂ + 4. (3)

substituting equations (2) and (3) into (1), we have

10(n₃ + 15) + 20n₂ + 50n₃ = 1550

expanding the bracket, we have

10n₃ + 150 + 20n₂ + 50n₃ = 1550

collecting like terms, we have

60n₃ + 150 + 20n₂ = 1550

inserting equation (3), we have

60(3n₂ + 4) + 150 + 20n₂ = 1550

expanding the bracket, we have

180n₂ + 240 + 150 + 20n₂ = 1550

collecting like terms, we have

200n₂ + 390 = 1550

subtracting 390 from both sides, we have

200n₂ = 1550 - 390

200n₂ = 1160

dividing both sides by 200, we have

n₂ = 1160/200

n₂ = 5.8

n₂ ≅ 6 since it cannot be a fraction.

Substituting this into (3), we have

n₃ = 3n₂ + 4 = 3(6) + 4 = 18 + 4 = 22

substituting n₃ into (2), we have

n₁ = n₃ + 15 = 22 + 15 = 37

So, the number of $ 10 bills is 37, the number of $ 20 is 6 and the number of $ 50 bills is 22.

The value of the 9 is ten times the value of the 9 in 329,513. The value of the 2 is one-tenth the value of the 2 in 7,562. The
nexus9112 [7]

Answer: The number is 90,000.26

Step-by-step explanation:

Extracting key information from the question:-

*** The value of the "9" in Lea's riddle is 10 times the one in 329,513

*** The value of the "2" in the riddle is 1/10 the value of the 2 in 7,562.

*** The value of the 6 in the riddle is one-tenth the value of the 6 in 4.68

*** We are required to solve this possible and reveal the number.

Now, in the number 329,513 the place value of 9 is 9,000. According to the information provided, the value of the 9 in the riddle is ten times the value of the 9 in 329,513.

So, multiplying 9000 by 10 gives:-

9,000 × 10

= 90,000

Again, the value of the 2 in the riddle is one-tenth (1/10) the value of the 2 in 7,562. The value of 2 in 7,562 is 2 units, therefore one-tenth of this 2 units will give:-

1/10 × 2

= 0.2

Similarly, the value of 6 in the puzzle is one-tenth (1/10) the value of the 6 in 4.68; The 6 here is 6 hundredth = 0.6

Therefore, the value of 6 in the puzzle is:

1/10 × 0.6

= 0.06

In order to discover the number in Lea's riddle, we will then add up the calculated values:-

= 90,000 + 0.2 + 0.006

= 90,000.26

This number is the answer to Lea's riddle.

F(x) is the same as y.......so basically ur subbing in ur points into the equation to see if it comes out equal.

f(x) = 3 - 2x.....(-2,-1)....x = -2 and f(x) = -1
-1 = 3 - 2(-1)
-1 = 3 + 2
-1 = 5.....this is not true, so it is not a solution

and that is how to do this problem.....

(-1,5)......this IS a solution
(0,3)......this IS a solution
(1,0)...this IS NOT a solution
(2,-1)...this IS a solution

maria [59]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

you need to first do 5.89- [(5.89 * 15)/100]=5.89-0.8835=5.0065

then 5.0065 * 2 = 10.013 because it is 15% each dozen then

[(10.013 * 5)/100] =0.50065 then 10.013 - 0.50065 = 9.51235

and lastly (9.51235 * 7)/100 = 0.6658645

finally 9.51235 + 0.6658645= 10.1782145

and then you just need to round it to the nearest hundredths and you will get 10.18
