Odell has the same number of quarters, dimes, and nickels. In all he has $4 in change. How many of each coin does he have?

1 answer:

6 0

<span>Since the number of quarters, dimes, and nickels is going to be the same for each, we can assign x as the quantity of each coin and place it by its monetary value: .25x + .10x + .05x = 4.00 This then simplifies to: .40x = 4.00 4 divided by .4 gives x a value of 10, so there would be 10 quarters, 10 dimes, and 10 nickels.</span>

Francois baked just enough cookies to fill all the orders at his bakery. While the cookies were cooling, a kitchen assistant kno

Ann [662]

300 cookies were ordered to start.

We can tell this because we know 12% is equal to 36. Because this is true, we can set up a proportion to solve. All proportions can be set up with the small number on top and the total on the bottom. This will help you solve for the missing number, which is in this case the total number of cookies. Let x be the total number of cookies.

Percentage/total percentage = cookies/cookies total
12/100 = 36/x

Now we can cross multiply to solve.
(100)(36) = (12)(x) ----> multiply
3600 = 12x ---> divide by 12
300 = x
