Answer:

10 quarters = $2.50

10 nickels = $0.50

that leaves $0.20 for other coins (dimes / pennies)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, suppose she has only quarters and nickels and no other coins.  Then if C is the identical number of coins of each type, then 5C + 25C = 320, so 30C = 320 and 3C = 32, but there is no integer solution to this.  So she must have at least one other type of coin.

Assume she has only quarters, nickels, and dimes.  Then if D is the number of dimes, 5C +  25C + 10D = 320, which means 30C + 10D = 320, or 3C + D = 32.  The smallest D can be is 2, leaving 3C = 30 and thus C = 10.  So in this scenario she would have 10 quarters, 10 nickels, and two dimes to make $2.50 + $0.50 + $0.20 = $3.20.

This has to be the highest number, because if she had 11 quarters and 11 nickels, that alone would add up to 11(0.25) + 11(0.05) = $3.30, which would already be too much.

Write the equation of the line that passes through (0, 3) and is parallel to the line 3x + 5y = 6.
Pavel [41]
Please, see the offered decision:
1) common equation for lines is y=kx+b. If k₁=k₂ (for line 1 and line 2) ⇒ 'line 1' || 'line 2'.
2) for line 3x+5y=6   k= -3/5. It means (according to item 1) for unknown line k is the same (-3/5).
3) using points (0;3) it is easy to find parameter b (x=0, y=3) via y=kx+b:
3=0*(-3/5)+b ⇔ b=3.
4) finaly (k=-3/5; b=3):
y=- \frac{3}{5}x+3 \ or \ 3x+5y=15

The volume of a cube is 125 cubic inches. What is the<br> length of one edge of the cube?
Tcecarenko [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

All the edges of a cube have the same length, and the volume of a cube is the length of an edge taken to the third power. So the length of the edge of a cube with a volume of 125 is 5.
