Let x = the number of dimes
Let y = the number of pennies.

There are 8 coins, therefore
x + y = 8 (1)

The coins are worth 17 cents, therefore
10x + y = 17 (2)

Subtract equation (1) from equation (2).
10x + y - (x + y) = 17 - 8
9x = 9
x = 1

From (1), obtain
y = 8 -x = 8 - 1 = 7

Answer: 1 dime, 7 pennies.

Answer:

197 popcorn bags
202 food trays

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the numbers are split evenly 5 ways, each stand gets 1/5 of the total:

(985 bags)/5 = 197 bags

(1010 trays)/5 = 202 trays

Each concession stand receives 197 popcorn bags and 202 food trays.

The volume of the geometry that is oblique prism is $\rm 0.5x^3 + x^2$ . Then the correct option is A.

<h3>What is Geometry?</h3>

It deals with the size of geometry, region, and density of the different forms both 2D and 3D.

Given

The oblique prism below has an isosceles right triangle base.

The triangular bases have 2 sides with a length of x.

The distance from the 2 triangular bases is (x + 3).

The vertical height of the prism is (x + 2).

The volume of the oblique prism will be

$\rm Volume = Area\ of \ triangle * Vertical\ Height \\\\Volume = \dfrac{1}{2} (Base)^2 * Vertical \ Hetght\\\\Volume = \dfrac{1}{2} x^2 (x + 2)\\\\Volume = \dfrac{1}{2} x^3 + x^{2} \\\\$
