Find two numbers whose sum is 42 and whose difference is 16.

1 answer:

3 0

A + b = 42
a - b = 16 ==> a = b + 16

b + 16 + b = 42
2b + 16 = 42
2b = 42 - 16
2b = 26
b = 26/2
b = 13 <===

a = b + 16
a = 13 + 16
a = 29 <===

I have k quarters, five less quarters than nickels and one more than twice as many dimes as quarters. Find the value of the coin

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

(35k + 20) cents

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, let us have the value of each unit:

1 quarter = 25 cents

1 nickel = 5 cents

1 dime = 10 cents

Given that number of quarter = k

Quarters are 5 lesser than Nickels, so number of nickels = k+5

One more than twice as many dimes as quarters:

k = 2 $\times$ Number of Dimes + 1

So, number of dimes = $\frac{1}{2}(k-1)$

Value of quarters = $25 \times k$ cents

Value of nickels = $5 \times (k+5) = (5k+25)\ cents$

Value of dimes = $\frac{1}{2}(k-1) \times 10 = (5k-5)\ cents$

So, total value of coins =

$25k + 5k +25 +5k-5\\\Rightarrow (35k+20)\ cents$
