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.)

7. Jenny is saving to buy a laptop worth $960. Her parents promise to match every $3 saved
PSYCHO15rus [73]
First off, if you divide $960/$8, you will get 120 “sets” of payment. Multiply this value by the amount of money Jenny is responsible for paying and the amount her parents are responsible for paying to find their total contributions.

a. Jenny will have to pay $600

b. Jenny’s parents will contribute $360 to her new laptop.
