Hey :)

<span>Lets n be the number of nickels Sue has. Then the number of dimes is equal to (16-n). So, Sue has 5*n cents in nickels and 10*(16-n) cents in dimes. Since the total amount Sue has is $1.15, or 115 cents, it gives you an equation 5n + 10*(16-n) = 115.

Simplify this equation: 5n +160-10n = 115 (after opening parentheses) -5n = 115-160 (after collecting like terms at the left side and moving 160 to the right side with the opposite sign) -5n = -45 (after collecting like terms at the right side) n = 9 (after dividing both sides by -5). So, the number of nickels is equal to 9. The number of dimes is equal to 16 minus the number of nickels, that is 16-n = 16-9 = 7.

Check. The total number of coins is equal to 9 + 7 = 16. The total amount is equal to 9*5 + 7*10 = 45 + 70 = 115. The solution is correct.

Answer. Sue has 9 nickels and 7 dimes.

Hope this helps! :)</span>

1) The cost of constructing a path 5 m broad inside the boundary of a square lawn at Rs 36.25 per sq. metre is Rs 90625. What is
Svetach [21]

Let , side lawn is a.

Area of boundary is :

A=4\times5\times a\\\\A=20a\ m^2

Now, total cost is given by :

T=20a\times 36.25\\\\90625=725a\\\\a=125\ m

Area left is :

A'=a^2-20a\\\\A'=125^2-20\times 125\ m^2\\\\A'=13125\ m^2

Price to empty space with turfs is :

P=A'\times 20\\\\P=13125\times 20\\\\P=262500

Therefore, the cost of covering the empty space with turfs at the rate of Rs 20 per sq. metre is Rs 262500.

Hence, this is the required solution.
