Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
d = number of dimes
2.80 = 0.1d + 0.25 (d + 8 )
2.80 = 0.1d + 0.25d + 2 Combine like terms
2.80 = 0.35d + 2 Subtract 2 from both sides
0.80 = 0.35d Divide both sides by 0.35
d ≈ 2.29
No, it's not possible to have more quarters than dimes when the total is $2.80 because it's not possible to have part of a dime.
One way to carry out this problem is to simply take the value that you already know, which is that 1/5 is 20 % and multiply it by 2 for 2/5 or 2 (1/5ths) and do this for all of them. There is a pattern that occurs for every increase in one out of denominator of 5.
I don't know the options, but I can say this:
if you bought it at 20 1/4 and you sell them at 25 1/4 then your win pro stock is the difference between those two numbers, which is 5. (25 1/4-20 1/4 =5)
and if you sell all of them, your profit will be 30*5=150 dollars.
