Answer:
C) 9n=45-5(n-5)....…...….......
Let the number of each coin be n.
The total sum of these coins is $4.40. So we can write:
n Nickles + n Dimes + n Quarters = 4.40
0.05n + 0.10n + 0.25n = 4.40
0.40n = 4.40
n = 11
So this means, there are 11 coins of each type.
Here is some pro tips, I take algebra 1, and I’m in middle school too.
x * x = x^2
If you see anything like (x + 5)(x - 5), solve using FOIL, (front, outer, inner, last), it’s basically the distributive property for four numbers and x’es.
Distributive property is a must know.
And also, if you are feeling nervous, remember, even if you fail the leap test, it doesn’t make you less of a intelligent, kind, and caring person.
$492.03
the price is already discounted, so then you just multiply 546.7*.10 and that equals 54.67
subtract 54.67 from 546.7
the total is now 492.03
