Answer:

nickels = 12

quarters = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of quarters be "q", and

number of nickels be "n"

Nickels are worth $0.05 and Quarters are worth $0.25

Since all of them are worth 2.85, we can write:

0.25q + 0.05n = 2.85

Also, we know, there are 3 more nickels than quarters, so we can write:

n = 3 + q

Now, we can substitute equation 2 into equation 1 to get:

0.25q + 0.05n = 2.85\\0.25q + 0.05(3+q) = 2.85\\0.25q+0.15+0.05q=2.85

Now, we solve for q:

0.25q+0.15+0.05q=2.85\\0.3q=2.70\\q=9

There are 9 quarters.

We know n = 3 + q

So,

n = 3 + 9

n = 12

There are 12 nickels

you buy two rolls of wrapping paper. each roll has the same lateral surface area. what is the diameter of roll B?
Sonbull [250]
I saw the image that should have been posted with this word problem.

The rolls of wrapping paper is cylindrical in shape.

Roll A : length = 30 inches ; diameter = 3 inches
Roll B : length = 24 inches ; diameter = unknown

Lateral surface area = 2 π r h

Lateral Surface area of Roll A = Lateral Surface area of Roll B
2 * 3.14 * 1.5in * 30in = 2 * 3.14 * r * 24 in
282.60 in² = 150.72 in * r
282.60 in² / 150.72 in = r
1.875 in = r

diameter is 2 times the radius = 1.875 in * 2 = 3.75 inches

The diameter of Roll B is 3.75 inches.
