So Maurice would have 2N nickels  

Total number of coins is N + 2N + 9 = 3N + 9  

Each nickel is 5 pennies  

3N of nickels = 15N pennies  

-----------  

Their worth is 84 cents  

15N + 9 = 84  

15N = 75  

N = 75/15 = 5  

N = 5  


This means Nina has 5 nickels.

Nissan Appliances bought two dozen camcorders at a total cost of $3,816. The markup on the camcorders is 25% of the selling pric
Lerok [7]
So first you do 3,816 divided by 12 , because you need to find how much for 1 so then you can find out 25% off of 1. To check your work put down 318 times 12 to prove that you're right. Which would be 318 times 25 = 79.5. If you use a calculator it won't have the decimals ( if you just do the numbers ), but the rest is above.

To start, the first thing you need to know is that when you add decimals, you must line the decimal up, meaning, if you were adding 2.7+4.1, you have to make sure 2 is lined up with 4, and 7 is lined up with 1 so that the decimals align. Then, you add straight down from right to left and you get 6.8 as your answer.
