Answer:

35 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

This situation has two unknowns - the total number of dimes and the total number of quarters. Because we have two unknowns, we will write a system of equations with two equations using the two unknowns.

  • d+q=60 is an equation representing the total number of coins
  • 0.10d+0.25q=11.25 is an equation representing the total value in money based on the number of coin. 0.10 and 0.25 come from the value of a dime and quarter individually.

We write the first equation in terms of q by subtracting it across the equal sign to get d=60-q. We now substitute this for d in the second equation.

0.10(60-q)+0.25q=11.25\\6-0.10q+0.25q=11.25\\6+0.15q=11.25

After simplifying, we subtract 6 across and divide by the coefficient of q.

6+0.15q=11.25\\0.15q=5.25\\q=35

We now know of the 60 coins that 35 are quarters. To find the total value of the quarters, we multiply 35 by 0.25 and find 8.75.

the equation a = represents the angle measures, a, in a regular n-sided polygon. when the equation is solved for n, n is equal t
mario62 [17]
A = 180(n - 2)

a = 180n - 180*2

a = 180n - 360

180n - 360 = a

180n = a + 360

n = (a + 360) / 180

Numerator for fraction above = ( a + 360),   denominator = 180

How do you find the scale factor of two triangles, 0.3 and 2.4?
bagirrra123 [75]
Divide the larger one by the smaller one. 2.4 divided by 0.3 gives you 8. That means the scale factor is 8, or the larger triangle is 8 times larger than the smaller. We can prove this by multiplying 0.3 by 8 and getting 2.4

As a bicycle salesperson, Norman earns a fixed salary of $20 per week plus $6 per bicycle for the first 6 bicycles he sells, $12
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

A. I only

I. y>2x

Step-by-step explanation:

I. y>2x

He sold x bicycles last week and y bicycles this week,  this week, he earned more than twice as much as he did last week. Therefore more than twice means greater than 2 x or

y>2x

II. y>x This is not true because y could be greater than x and less than twice of x (2x)

III. y>3 This is also not true because the least he would be earning would be $ 20 and he could get earn greater than 3 and less than $ 20 which would again be contradictory to the given statement
