Clara has 8 coins worth 17¢. if the coins are all dimes and pennies, how many dimes and pennies does she have?
2 answers:
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.

The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of all the sides. So
1300 = (2 x 400) + (2 x width)
5.3/8=.6625 yrds^2 should be right
The retail price is $50 because 25% of 40 is 10 and 10+40=50.
