Answer:

a) Let b represent the number of blue marbles placed in the second jar. Then 34-b is the number of yellow marbles in the second jar, and 25 - (34-b) is the number of yellow marbles remaining in the first jar. That value simplifies to b-9. The positive difference between b and (b-9) is 9.  

b) Let n, d, p represent the numbers of nickels, dimes, and pennies, respectively.  

.. (5n + 10d + p)/(n + d + p) = 7 ... the average value of the collection is 7 cents per coin  

.. (5(n-1) + 10d + (p+5))/((n-1) + d + (p+5)) = 6 ... replacing one nickel with pennies changes the average to 6 cents per coin  

Multiplying by the denominator and subtracting the right side of each resulting equation gives  

.. 10d + 5n + p = 7d + 7n + 7p  

.. 10d + 5n + p = 6d + 6n + 6p + 24  

Subtracting the second equation from the first gives  

.. 0 = d + n + p - 24 ... tells us the total number of coins is 24. This tells us the total value is $1.68 = 24*$0.07.  

This sum will consist of at least 3 pennies. If that is all the pennies, then the remaining 21 nickels and dimes must add to $1.65. If all were nickels, the value of the 21 coins would be $1.05. We have $0.60 more than that. For each nickel traded for a dime, we gain $.05, so 12 of the 21 nickels must be traded for dimes to raise the total coin value to $1.65.  

Alternatively, you can write two equations in the two unknowns:  

.. d + n = 21  

.. 10d + 5n = 165  

Subtracting 5 times the first equation from the second gives  

.. 5d = 60 ... which gives the same answer as reasoned above.  

There are 3 pennies, 9 nickels, 12 dimes. (If there are 8 pennies to start, then the number of nickels is zero, so it is impossible to trade one for 5 pennies. The solution shown is the only one.)

70 - 5x = number of people waiting in line to buy tickets x minutes after a ticket booth opened is given by 70 - 5x. What does t
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

The 70 represents the number of people waiting to by tickets at the exactly moment when the ticket booth is opened.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 70 represents the number of people waiting to by tickets at the exactly moment when the ticket booth is opened.

You can see this by setting the x value to 0, it is, in the precise moment when the booth opened (as x cant be negative, because there is no negative time, you could also think of 70 as the number of people waiting before the booth opens).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. There will be 9 roses in total.  

Probability Orange: 2/9

Probability Yellow: 3/9 = ⅓  

Probability Pink: 4/9

2. 4/7 as there are 7 bowls in total and 4 are chocolate.  

3. 4/10 = ⅖ (simplified) There are 10 fruits in total and 4 are apples.  

4. 5/15 = ⅓ (simplified) There are 15 cars in total and 5 or them are cooper minis.

5. 2/6 = ⅓ (simplified) There are 6 textbooks and 2 of  them are math.  

6. 13/20 There are 20 drinks and 13 of them are lemonade.  

7. There are 10 toys in total.  

Probability toy cars: 3/10

Probability dolls: 2/10 = ⅕ (simplified)  

Probability balls: 5/10 = ½ (simplified)  

8. In total the number of red roses and lilies are 7. There are 10 flowers in total so the number of jasmines are 3. Therefore the probability of getting a jasmine is 3/10  

9. 20/50 = ⅖ (simplified) There are 50 papers in total and 20 of them are yellow.  

10. 8/18 = 4/9 (simplified) There are 18 buses and 8 of them are air conditioned.
