Answer:
36 erasers
Step-by-step explanation:
Let number of erasers be e
let number of rulers be r
We can write:
e + r = 70
and
After giving away, he has
Erasers: 2/3e
Rulers: r - 10
These two are equal, so we can write and solve:
2/3e = r - 10
2/3e + 10 = r
Putting this in initial equation, we have:
e + (2/3e + 10) = 70
5/3e + 10 = 70
5/3 e = 60
e = 36
And rulers is:
r = 2/3(36) + 10 = 34
Hence, he had 36 erasers in the beginning
About 142ish i think. sorry if it's not the answer you were looking for.
D=dimes
n=niclkes
p=pennies
q=quarters
1 dollar (100 cents)
2 times as many nickles as dimes
n=2d
14 more pennies than quarters
p+14=q
and total is 1 dollar so
25q+10d+5n+p=100
ok so we must use logic
the max number of quarters in a dolar is 4
but there are pennies so max is 3
so q=1,2, or 3
therefor p=15,16 or, 17
also, the rest of te coins are only multipules of 5 so the sum amount of pennies and quartes must add to a multiplule of 5
if q=1 and p=15, total is 40 cents
if q=2 and p=16, total is 66 cents
if q=3 and p=17, total is 92 cents
only 40 cents is a multiplule of 10
1 quarter and 15 pennies
now we are having
40 cents is pennies and quartesrs
therfor 100-40=60 cents is nickles and dimes
60=5n+10d
n=2d
sub
60=5(2d)+10d
60=10d+10d
60=20d
divide both sides by 20
3=d
sub
n=2d
n=2(3)
n=6
6 nickles
3 dimes
answer is
1 quarter
3 dimes
6 nickles
15 pennies
It would just be
Let me know if you want an explanation
Well for example if you wanted it to be 60 sq meters then you could do 60/3 which is 20 then the length could be 40 and the width could be 20
