The pile contains 12 nickels and 9 quarters.

Let <em>x</em> = the number of nickels and <em>y</em> = the number of quarters.

Then, we have two equations:

(1) $0.05x + $0.25y  = $2.85

(2) x = y +3

Substitute the value of <em>x</em> from Equation (2) into Equation (1).

0.05(<em>y</em>+3) + 0.25<em>y</em> = 2.85

0.05<em>y</em> + 0.15 + 0.25<em>y</em> = 2.85

0.30<em>y</em> = 2.85 – 0.15 = 2.70

y = 2.70/0.30 = 9

Substitute the value of <em>y</em> in Equation (2).

x = 9 + 3 = 12

The pile contains 12 nickels and 9 quarters.

<em>Check</em>: 12×$0.05 + 9×$0.25 = $0.60 + $2.25 = $2.85.

A can in the shape of a right cylinder is filled with 10W-40 oil. The weight of 10W-40 oil is 0.857 gram per cubic centimeter. I
Leya [2.2K]
To solve this, we have to find the volume of the cylinder first.  The formula to be used is V =  \pi  r^{2} h

Given:V= ?r= 6cmh= 10cm
Solution:V =  \pi  r^{2} h
V= (3.14)(6cm)^{2} x 10cmV= (3.14)(36cm^{2}) x 10cmV= (113.04cm^{2}) x 10cmV= 1130.4cm^3
Finding the volume of the cylinder, we can now solve what the weight of the oil is.  Using the formula of density, Density = mass/volume, we can derive a formula to get the weight.
Given:Density = 0.857 gm/cm^3Volume = 1130.4 cm^3
Solution:weight = density x volumew= (0.857 gm/cm^3) (1130.4cm^3)w= 968.7528 gm
The weight of the oil is 968.75 gm.
