0.05n + 0.25q = 1.60
q = 3n

0.05n + 0.25(3n) = 160
0.05n + 0.75n = 1.60...multiply by 100 to get rid of the decimals
5n + 75n = 160...answer D

To answer the question, let the number of nickels Peggy has be n. By this, the Peggy has 3n quarters. The total amount of all his nickels and quarter is equal to $1.60. The equation that best describe the situation is,
25(3n) + 5(n) = 160
Simplification leads to,
75n + 5n = 160
Thus, the answer is letter D.

The surface areas of two similar solids are 340 yd² and 1,158 yd². The volume of the larger solid is 1,712 yd³. What is the volu

ratelena [41]

The ratio of surface area is equal to the ratio of the square of the corresponding dimensions. And ratio of volumes of two solids is equal to the cube of the ratio of the corresponding dimensions .

We start with the relation between ratio of surface area and ratio of corresponding sides. That is

$\frac{340}{1158}=(\frac{x}{y} )^2$
