Answer: a) An = An-1 + An-2
b) 55ways
Step-by-step explanation:
a) a nickel is 5 cents and a dime is 10cent so a multiple of 5 cents is the possible way to pay the tolls in both choices.
Let An represents the number of possible ways the driver can pay a toll of 5n cents, so that
An = 5n cents
Case 1: Using a nickel for payment which is 5 cents, the number of ways given as;
An-1 = 5( n-1)
Case 2: using a dime which is two 5 cents, the number of ways is given as;
An-2 = 5(n-2)
Summing up the number of ways, we have
An = An-1 + An-2
From the relation,
If n= 0, Ao= 1
n =1, A1= 1
b) 45 cents paid in multiples of 5cents will give us 9 ways(A9)
From the relation, we have that
Ao = 1
A1 = 1
An =An-1 + An-2
Ao = 1
A1 = 1
A2 = A1+Ao = 1+1= 2
A3 = A2 + A1 = 3
A4 = A3+A2=5
A5=A4+A3=8
A6=A5+A4=13
A7 =A6+A5 = 21
A8= A7+A6= 34
A9= A8+A7= 55
So there are 55ways to pay 45cents.
Uh do you mean he earned $225 per week?
If yes, then he earned 45 per day.
Triangle has a total of 180 degrees
add up all angles
A+B+C = 3x+5+4x-2+2x+6=180
9x=171
x=19
Plug x values into the A , B and C expressions and you get your answers
Answer: 15
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we can infer from the information given that:
5 eclaires boxes = 1 free eclaires box.
Therefore, to get the number of eclaires boxes that the kids will get if they bring 77 eclaires boxes, we have to divide 77 by 5 and this will be:
= 77 / 5
= 15.4
= 15
The group of kids will receive 15 free boxes
