Anna has 16 nickels

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "n" be the number of nickels

Let "q" be the number of quarters

We know that,

1 nickel = $ 0.05 or 5 cent

1 quarter = $ 0.25 or 25 cent

<em><u>Anna has a collection of 45 nickels and quarters</u></em>

Therefore,

n + q = 45

q = 45 - n --------- eqn 1

<em><u>Anna has a collection of 45 nickels and quarters worth $8.05</u></em>

$ 8.05 is worth 805 cents

Thus we frame a equation as:

number of nickels x 5 cents + number of quarters x 25 cents = 805

n \times 5 + q \times 25 = 805

5n + 25q = 805 ----- eqn 2

<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>

<em><u>Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2</u></em>

5n + 25(45 - n) = 805

5n + 1125 - 25n = 805

20n = 1125 - 805

20n = 320

n = 16

Thus Anna has 16 nickels

Haroldo, Xerxes, Regina, Shaindel, Murray, Norah, Stav, Zeke, Cam, and Georgia are invited to a dinner party. They arrive in a r
alexira [117]

Answer: The probability is P = 0.056

Step-by-step explanation:

The invited ones are:

Haroldo, Xerxes, Regina, Shaindel, Murray, Norah, Stav, Zeke, Cam, and Georgia

So we have a total of 10 persons.

The case where Xerxes arrives first and Regina arrives last is:

We have 10 slots, each slot corresponds to who arrived in which time.

For the first slot we have only one option, this is Xeres.

For the next slot we have 8 options (because Xeres already arrived, and Regina must arrive at last)

For the next slot we have 7 options.

for the next one we have 6 options, and so on.

So the combinations are:

C = 1*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1*1 = 40320

Now, the total number of combinations is:

for the first slot we have 10 options, for the second we have 9 options and so on.

c = 10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 725760

The probability is the combinations where Xerxes arrives first and Regina rrives last divided the total number of probabilities.

P = C/c = 0.056
