Answer:

He has 19 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we can set up a system of equations.

Let's first name our variables.

x: number of quarters

y: number of dimes

Using this, we can write the following equations.

Number of coins: x+y=27

Total Value: 0.25x+0.1y=5.55

We can rewrite the first equation to x=27-y by subtracting y from btoh sides. This way, we can substitute 27-y in for x.

0.25(27-y)+0.1y=5.55

Distribute.

6.75-0.25y+0.1y=5.55

Combine like terms.

6.75-0.15y=5.55

Subtract 6.75 from both sides.

-0.15y=-1.2

Divide both sides by -0.15

y=8

There are 8 dimes.

We can use that to find the number of quarters by plugging it in to one of the equations.

x+y=27

x+8=27

Subtract 8 from both sides.

x=19

He has 19 quarters.

A hair cut cost $25 and you want to leave a 15% tip what is the total bill?
Olin [163]
You need to change 15% to a decimal and multiply it by 25

25 x 0.15 = 3.75

Then add 3.75 to 25 to get the total

25 + 3.75 = 28.75

So, the answer is 28.75$

Hope it helps :)

Someone please help me i don’t understand
frutty [35]

Answer:

Answer B

Step-by-step explanation:

Write out f(x) and g(x) in a column; we will subtract g(x) from f(x):

f(x) = x^2  - 9          or f(x)   =   x^2           - 9

-g(x) = -(2 - x)          or -g(x) =           +x      -2

                                    ---------------------------------

                                      f(x) - g(x) = x^2 + x - 11   (Answer B)

PLEASE HELP ME!!! 5 POINTS!!!
lakkis [162]

Answer:

D. 1.38

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare numbers, start with the left side.

You are comparing these numbers with 1.32:

A.1.02

B.1.23

C.1.31

D.1.38

Start with the leftmost digit, the 1. All numbers start with 1, so up to the units place, they are all the same. See below.

1.32

A. 1.02

B. 1.23

C. 1.31

D. 1.38

Now compare the next digit which is the tenths place.

1.32

A. 1.02

B. 1.23

C. 1.31

D. 1.38

Above, the number 1.32 has a 3 in the tenths place. 3 is greater than 0 and than 2, so options A and B are less than 1.32 and are eliminated.

1.32

C. 1.31

D. 1.38

Now we compare the digits in the hundredths place shown just above. 2 is greater than 1, but it is less than 8, so we eliminate option C.

Answer: D. 1.38

Edward deposited $9,000 into a savings account 2 years ago. The simple interest rate is 4% How
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

$734.40

Step-by-step explanation:

y=9,000(1.04)^t is our equation for this.

The 9,000 is the starting amount.

1.04 is the 4% since 4% is 4/100 which equals 0.04, then we add 1 to that since it's increasing in value.

y represents our output.

t represents time (in years for this equation)

Since they give us the amount of years since he deposited the $9,000, we put the number they gave us (2 years) into the equation, replacing t.

y=9,000(1.04)^2

Put the right side into a calculator and it gives you 9734.4.

That's the total amount he has now, so to find how much he earned we subtract the starting amount (9000).

734.4.

Edward earned $734.40.
