Answer:

Gabby received

7 nickels

10 dimes

3 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----> the number of dimes

y----> the number of nickels

z---> the number of quarters

Remember that

1 dime=$0.10

1 nickel=$0.05

1 quarter=$0.25

we know that

0.10x+0.05y+0.25z=2.10 ------> equation A

x=y+3-----> equation B

z=y-4 -----> equation C

substitute equation B and equation C in equation A and solve for y

0.10(y+3)+0.05y+0.25(y-4)=2.10

0.10y+0.30+0.05y+0.25y-1=2.10

0.40y=2.10-0.30+1

0.40y=2.80

y=7 nickels

<em>Find the value of x</em>

x=y+3 -----> x=7+3=10 dimes

<em>Find the value of z</em>

z=y-4 -----> z=7-4=3 quarters

therefore

Gabby received

7 nickels

10 dimes

3 quarters

Answer:

 Justin has a lower mean tip for the week with $42.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean you must add all the numbers and then divide the sum by how many numbers there are.

For Justin you must add 32 + 45 + 50 + 33 + 50 then you'll get the sum 210. There are 5 numbers so you divide 210 by 5 which gives you the quotient 42.

As for T.J. you add 58 + 48 + 40 + 42 + 42 which gives you the sum of 230. Then you divide 230 by 5 since there's 5 numbers. Now you have the quotient of 46.

46 is greater than 42 so Justin has the lower mean.

How many different towers can you make using one red, one blue and one yellow block?
icang [17]
You can make 6 different towers. If red was at the bottom, there'd be two different possibilities for that: red, yellow, blue, and red, blue, yellow. Same for if blue was at the bottom: blue, red, yellow, and blue, yellow, red. Yellow also applies: yellow, red, blue, and yellow, blue, red. 3*2=6, so 6 possible towers.
