Answer: it is C
Step-by-step explanation:
Let q and n represent the number of quarters and nickels respectively.
q=3n and .05n+.25q=1.6 These are the conditions in mathematical terms.
To solve, use the value of q from the first equation in the second equation to get:
.05n+.25(3n)=1.6 carry out indicated multiplication on left side
.05n+.75n=1.6 combine like terms on left side
.8n=1.6 divide both sides by .8
n=2, since q=3n
q=6
So Peggy had 2 nickels and 6 quarters.
The slope is [ 8 - (-1) ] / [ -1 - (-4) ] = 9 / 3 = 3;
The line has the equation: y - 8 = 3( x + 1);
y - 8 = 3x + 3;
y = 3x + 11.
Increase = 14
Total =50
Percentage increase = 14/50 x 100 = 28%
