Answer:
1st box would be 8/20 and the second 5/20. the final box would be >.
subtract the 2 to find the difference:
279.48 - 250.55 = 28.93
divide difference by actual amount:
28.93 / 279.48 = 0.1035
rounded to the nearest tenth = 10.4%
Answer:
100 silver coins and 175 bronze
Step-by-step explanation:
let x be the number of silver coins and y the number of bronze coins.
Worth of these coins together = 6x/(5)+0.08/(10)y
=1.2x+0.008y
Weight of one silver coin = 125/5 = 25 gm
and one bronze coin = 500/10 = 50 gms.
Weight of these coins together = 25x + 50y
Equate these two items i.e. value and weight to actuals given.
i.e. 1.2x+0.08y = 134 and ... i
25x+50y = 11 kg 250 gm = 11250 gms. ... ii
Divide the second equation by 25
x+2y = 450 ... iii
Multiply I equation by 25
30x+2y =3350 ... iv
iii-iv gives -29x = -2900 or
x =100
Substitute in x+2y = 450
2y = 350 or y =175
the denominator (bottom) of the fraction cannot have the value 0. Division BY zero is undefined. The question becomes, then, what value of y makes y - 3 = 0?
Solve that equation for y by adding 3 to both sides, and you get y = 3. That is the nonpermissible replacement for y
