Answer:

The number of coins each are 120 dimes, 80 nickels and 300 quarters. And the coins worth dimes →$12, nickels →$4 and quarters →$75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

For every two nickels there are three dimes. For every two dimes There are 5 Quarters. There are 500 coins total.

Now, to find the number of nickels, dimes and quarters. And the coins worth.

Let the number of dimes be x.

The the number of nickels be y.

And the number of quarters be z.

So, the number of total coins are:

x+y+z=500.........(1)

Now, as per given in question:

\frac{y}{2} =\frac{x}{3}

On solving we get:

y=\frac{2x}{3}.........(2)

\frac{x}{2} =\frac{z}{5}

On solving we get:

\frac{5x}{2} =z.........(3)

Now, in equation(1) substituting the equation (2) and(3) in the place of y\ and\ z we get:

x+\frac{2x}{3} +\frac{5x}{2}=500

On solving the equation we get:

\frac{6x+4x+15x}{6}=500

\frac{25x}{6} =500

Multiplying both sides by 6 we get:

25x=3000

Dividing both sides by 25 we get:

x=120.

Number of dimes = 120.

Putting the value of x in equation 2 we get:

y=\frac{2\times 120}{3}

On solving we get:

y=80.

The number of nickels = 80.

Now, putting the value of x and y in equation 1 we get:

120+80+z=500

200+z=500

On solving we get:

z=300

The number of quarters = 300.

Now, the coins worth:

Dimes = \$0.10 \times 120=\$12.

Nickels = \$0.05 \times 80=\$4.

Quarters =\$0.25 \times 300=\$75.

Therefore, the number of coins each are 120 dimes, 80 nickels and 300 quarters. And the coins worth dimes →$12, nickels →$4 and quarters →$75.

The equation y = 1.55x + 110,419 approximates the total cost, in dollars, of raising a child in the United States from birth to
Mariana [72]

Answer:

The answer to your question is The cost to raise a child from birth to 17 years in a household is $194119.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation

                      y = 1.55x + 110,419

Annual income = $54,000

To solve this problem just substitute the annual income and simplify to find the cost.

                    y = 1.55(54,000) + 110419

Simplify

                    y = 83700 + 110419

Result

                    y = $194119

Y = x^2 + 2x - 8 Solve with zeros
Katen [24]

Answer:

x=-4  x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2 + 2x - 8

Set equal to zero

0 = x^2 + 2x - 8

Factor

What two numbers multiply to -8 and add to 2

4 * -2 = -8

4+-2 = 2

0=(x+4) ( x-2)

Using the zero product property

x+4 =0   x-2 =0

x=-4  x=2

On a particular day, the wind added 4 miles per hour to Alfonso’s rate when he was cycling with the wind and subtracted 4 miles
Greeley [361]

d = r · t ⇒ t = d/r

going

t = 54/(r + 4)

coming

t = 30/(r - 4)

54/(r + 4) = 30/(r - 4) times are equal

54(r - 4) = 30(r + 4) product means/extremes

54r - 216 = 30r + 120 distribute

24r - 216 = 120 subtract 30r from both sides

24r = 336 add 216 to both sides

r = 14 divide both sides by 24

Alfonso bikes at 24 mph.
