Answer:

13 coins

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 25 kids in total.

The fraction of kids that are boys and girls are:

B=\frac{15}{25}=0.6\\B=\frac{10}{25}=0.4

The mean number of coins for all kids is given by:

M=B*M_B+G*M_G

If we are given that M = 10, and MB = 8, then the mean number of coins for the girls is:

10=0.6*8+0.4*M_G\\M_G=\frac{10-4.8}{0.4}\\M_G=13\ coins

The mean number of coins for the girls is 13.

A function is given by the equation h (x)=x 2 squared +6x-3. what is h (3)?
Leno4ka [110]
Your "<span>h (x)=x 2 squared +6x-3" is ambiguous.  If you meant "x squared," then you need only write x^2  OR  "x squared," but NOT "x 2 squared."

I will assume that by  "</span><span>h (x)=x 2 squared +6x-3" you actually meant:

</span><span>h(x)=x^2 +6x-3.  To find h(3), subst. 3 for x:  h(3) = (3)^2 + 6(3) - 3, or

h(3) = 9 + 18 - 3, or h(3) = 24.</span>

The dollar amount (d) that erin earns varies directly as the number of hours (t) that she works. if she earns $206.25 in 25 hour
Liono4ka [1.6K]
D=t*m
d=dollar amount
t=hours
m=how much she earns per hour

Plug in the first set of numbers
$206.25=(25hr)*m
the amount she earns per hour is
$206.25/25hr = m = $8.25 per hr

So

$264=t*$8.25
264/8.25 = t
t = 32 hr
