Answer:

8 quarters

12 nickels

12 pennies

16 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

The trick is to ASSUME the dimes.

Start by thinking about the three explicit premises and the one implicit premise.

1) Quarters = 1/6 of total coins

2) Nickels = 1.5 the number of quarters

3) Pennies = 1/4 of total coins

Also, ASSUME an unknown number of dimes to fill in the gap.

48 Total Coins = $4.32

⅙ of 48 = 8 8 quarters = $2.00

1.5 x 8 = 12 12 nickels = $0.60

¼ of 48 = 12 12 pennies = $0.12

Add those coins = $2.72

Take the known total and minus this sum.

$4.32 - $2.72 = $1.60

16 dimes = $1.60

Thus, you have the following:

8 quarters (⅙ of total coins)   $2.00

12 nickels (1.5 the number of quarters) $0.60

12 pennies (¼ the number of total coins) $0.12    

+ 16 dimes     $1.60

Total Coins 48      $4.32

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

x = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x, you set the equations as equal to each other:

x+23 = 2x+4

Then you simplify:

23 = 2x + 4 - x\\23 = x + 4\\23-4 = x\\19=x
