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

3) 14, 9, 20, 5, 17, 13 mean: <br>median: <br>mode: <br>range:​
Korolek [52]

Answer:

mean: 13

range: 15

there is no mode

median: 13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

mean= 14+9+20+5+17+13 = 78

78÷6= 13

range = highest number minus the smallest number

20-5 = 15

the mode is the number that occurs the most

median= 13+14= 27

27÷2 = 13.5
