A dime = 0.10

A nickel = 0.05

N + D = 28 coins

Rewrite this as N = 28 -D

0.10D + 0.05N = 1.95

Replace N withe the rewritten equation above:

0.10D + 0.05(28-D) = 1.95

Use the Distributive Property:

0.10D + 1.4 - 0.05D = 1.94

Add the like terms:

0.05D + 1.4 = 1.95

Subtract 1.4 from both sides:

0.05D = 0.55

Divide both sides by 0.05

D = 0.55 / 0.05

D = 11

Nickels = 28 - 11 = 17

There are 11 dimes and 17 nickels.

Jethro is planting flowers in his garden. He wants the ratio of tulips to roses to be 2 to 1. Jethro wants to plant a total of 1

attashe74 [19]

Given:

Ratio of tulips to roses = 2:1

Total number of flowers = 18

To find:

The number of tulips.

Solution:

Let the number of tulips and roses are 2x and x respectively.

According to the question,

$2x+x=18$

$3x=18$

Divide both sides by 3.

$x=\dfrac{18}{3}$

$x=6$

Now,

Number of tulips $=2(6)$

$=12$

Therefore, the number of tulips is 12.
