The least possible number of coins Pirate Jack has, is 81 coins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

When the coins are divided into 7 equal piles, 4 coins are left.

When the coins are divided into 11 equal piles, 4 coins are left.

We will take LCM of both 7 and 11.

7 = 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, 77, ....

11 = 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, ...

The least common multiple of 7 and 11 is 77.

As 4 coins are left, therefore, we will add those coins.

Total possible coins = 77+4 = 81

The least possible number of coins Pirate Jack has, is 81 coins.

Suppose a DVD costs $19 and a CD cost $14. Right in the inequality to find how many CDs you can buy along with one DVD if you ha
andrezito [222]

Answer: 19 + 14x ≤ 65

Explanation:

$19 is only added once because there is only one DVD purchased. $14 is added an unknown number of times, thus the variable X is included. We know that that the total number of dollars spent for both items is either less than or equal to 65. (Depending on your teacher, they may want you to write "19 + 14x < 65" if they want you to write the answer only for discrete numbers).
