Answer:

Lulu has 14 quarters and 6 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of dimes and y the number of quarters. The sum of quarters and dime is 20 coins. Then:

x + y = 20

We also know that the value of each dime is $ 0.10 and the value of each quarter is $0.25. The total value of the coins is $4.10. Then, the number of dimes times 0.10 plus the number of quarters times 0.25 will be 4.10:

0.10x + 0.25y = 4.10

So, we have a system of 2 equations and 2 unknowns:

x + y = 20

0.10x + 0.25y = 4.10

Let´s solve the first equation for y:

x + y = 20

subtract x from both sides

y = 20 - x

And now let´s replace y in the second equation:

0.10x + 0.25(20 - x) = 4.10

Apply distributive property

0.10x + 5 - 0.25x = 4.10

subtract 5 from both sides of the equation

-0.15x = -0.9

Divide by -0.15 both sides of the equation

x = 6

Now let´s calculate y:

y = 20 - x

y = 20 - 6 = 14

Lulu has 14 quarters and 6 dimes

jekas [21]

Answer: 165 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

The process of selection is done by using the combination formula for selection. If given "n" items and we are to choose "r" items from this given "n", the formula to use is denoted by:

nCr. = n! /(n-r)! × r!

Where

n! = n * (n-1) * (n-2)... *3*2*1.

In this case the number of items given = 11

And the number of items to be chosen = 3,

Hence the number of ways to do this = 11C3= 11!/(11-3)! × 3!

=165 ways.

gavmur [86]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An eccentric philanthropist undertakes to give away $100,000. He is eccentric because he insists that each of his gifts be a number of dollars that is a power of two, and he will give no more than one gift of any amount. How does he distribute the money?

To solve this problem, we will simply write 1,00,000 in base 2.

2^17 gives 131072, 2^16 gives 65536.

So, the first gift is 65536, we then need to repeat this process for  34,464 ((100,000-65536 = 34,464), to get all gifts in succession.

6 gifts in all: one each of $32, $128, $512, $1024, $32768, and $65536.
