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>

The selling price of a​ refrigerator, is ​$ 796.40 . If the markup is 10 % of the​ dealer's cost, what is the​ dealer's cost of
8_murik_8 [283]

The final price (what it is selling for) is $796.40

The markup is 10% of the original price (the dealer's cost) , meaning that it is 10% more.

We need to find the original price.

We write this as an equation

The original price *110% = final price

This is because the original price is itself (100%) added with 10%

Plug in the known final price

Original Price * 110% = 796.40

Convert 110% to a decimal because the other numbers- such as the final price are also decimal numbers.

Convert 110% to a decimal by moving the decimal point up 2 spaces ( basically dividing it by 100)

110% = 1.1

So it is now

Original price *1.1 = 796.40

Divide both sides by 1.1 to isolate our unknown, the original price

Original price = $724
