Answer:

Number of Nickels is 12

Number of Dimes is 9

Number of Quarters is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are a total of 36 coins, which consists of nickels, dimes, and quarters.

That is, when we sum the numbers of nickels, dimes, and quarters, we have 36.

Let number of nickels be N

Let number of dimes be D

Let number of quarters be Q

Then

N + D + Q = 36 .................................(1)

- There are three fewer quarters than nickels.

This implies that

N = Q - 3 ..............................................(2)

Or

Q = N + 3 .............................................(3)

- There are six more dimes than quarters.

This implies that

Q = D + 6 .............................................(4)

Comparing (3) with (4), we see that

N + 3 = D + 6

N - D = 6 - 3

N - D = 3 ................................................(5)

Using (3) in (1)

N + D + (N + 3) = 36

2N + D = 36 - 3

2N + D = 33 ..........................................(6)

Solving (5) and (6) simultaneously

From (5): D = N - 3

From (6): D = 33 - 2N

=> N - 3 = 33 - 2N

N + 2N = 33 + 3

3N = 36

N = 36/3 = 12..........................................(7)

Using (7) in (6)

2(12) + D = 33

24 + D = 33

D = 33 - 24

D = 9 ........................................................(8)

Using (7) and (8) in (1)

12 + 9 + Q = 36

21 + Q = 36

Q = 36 - 21 = 15.......................................(9)

Therefore,

Number of Nickels, N = 12

Number of Dimes, D = 9

Number of Quarters, Q = 15

If sin ø = 1/3, what are the values of cos ø and tan ø?​
jekas [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

SinA=1/3=p/h

p=1,h=3,and b=?

Using Pythagoras Theorem,

b=√3^2-1^2

b=√9-1

b=√8=2√2

Now,

CosA=b/h=2√2/3

TanA=p/b=1/2√2

There is no phi in my keypad so I use A angle instead of phi.Adjust it.

a dealer sells a camera to a man and makes 15% profit. The man sells the camera to another man for 414$ with 10% loss. Find the
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

$386.75

Step-by-step explanation:

First we must find the price of the camera after the man sold it, with the 10% loss.

To do this we find 10% of 414, which is 41.4 . Meaning the camera was originally bought from the dealer for $455.40, as we have to add the 10% back onto the price.

Now we find 15% of 455 and subtract it, with 15% being 68.25, the original cost was $386.75. My guy was seriously ripped off :(.
