Answer: a) Number of nickels, dimes, and quarters are 80, 120, 300 respectively.

b) The coins are worth of 91 dollars i.e. $91 in the piggy bank.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

For every 2 nickels there are 3 dimes ,

So, their ratio will be 2:3

and for every 2 dimes there are 5 quarters.\,

So, their ratio will be 2:5

Now, we'll first find the ratio of nickles to dimes to quarters i.e.

Nickle  Dimes  Quarters

2            3

             2               5

So, it becomes ,

Nickle : Dimes : Quarters

2×2     : 3×2        : 3×5

4         : 6            :  15

Now, let the number of nickle be 4x

Let the number of dimes be 6x

Let the number of quarters  be 15x

According to question,

4x+6x+15x=500\\\\25x=500\\\\x=\frac{500}{25}=20

So, number of nickels is given by

4x=4\times 20=80

Number of dimes is given by

6x=4\times 20=120

Number of quarters is given by

15x=4\times 20=300

As we know that

1\ nickel=5\ cents\\\\1\ dime=10\ cents\\\\1\ quarter=25\ cents

So, According to our question, we get

80\times 5+120\times 10+300\times 25=400+1200+7500=9100\ cents\\\\1\ cent=0.01\ dollar\\\\9100\ cents=9100\times 0.01\ dollars=91\ dollars.

Hence,

a) Number of nickels, dimes, and quarters are 80, 120, 300 respectively.

b) the coins are worth of 91 dollars i.e. $91 in the piggy bank.

The equation y = 7x+25 gives the number of minutes it takes to prepare a meal y given the number of people being served x. Which
klemol [59]

<u>Answer-</u> C. For every extra person served, the time it takes to prepare a meal increases by 7  minutes.

<u>Solution- </u>

<em>y = 7x+25</em>

Where y = the number of minutes it takes to prepare a meal

           x = the number of people being served.

If the number of persons increased by one, so x' = (x+1)

Then y' = 7x' + 25 = 7(x+1) + 25 = 7x + 7 + 25 = 7x + 25 + 7 = y + 7

∴ As y gets increased by 7 for every 1 more person , so C is the correct answer.
