Answer:
14 dimes and 4 quarters
Step-by-step explanation:
x= number of dimes
y=number of quarters
x-10=y
0.10x+0.25y=2.40
substitute for y
0.10x+0.25(x-10)=2.40
0.35x-2.50=2.40
0.35x=4.90
x=14
y=4

The correct answer is 5.75 (5 3/4) pounds of fruit
1 1/2 +3/4 +1/2 + 1 3/4+ 1 1/4= 5 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the answer we first multiply 129 by 0.7 since the price descresed 30 percent. each percent is equal to 0.01.
129 * 0.7 = 90.3
Then we multiply 90.3 by 1.0875 since that is the sales tax
90.3 * 1.0875 = 98.2
so the cost is 98.2
