The number of pennies in bank is 42

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that ratio of pennies to quarters in a piggy bank is 14 : 3

Let 14x be the number of pennies in piggy bank

Let 3x be the number of quarters in piggy bank

<em><u>To find: number of pennies</u></em>

Given that there are 51 quarters

number of pennies in piggy bank + number of quarters in piggy bank = 51

14x + 3x = 51

17x = 51

x = 3

number of pennies = 14x = 14(3) = 42

Thus the number of pennies in bank is 42

A book store is hosting a special night in which families can enjoy a story and craft time. Tickets to the
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

75 total tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

METHOD 1:

We know that 45 children's tickets have been sold, being 60% of the total tickets having been sold.

So, basically, we solve for x:

We have, 60% × x = 45

or, 60/100 × x = 45

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 60,

we have x = 45 × 100/60

x = 75

If using calculator, enter 45x100/60, which will give you the answer.

------------------------

METHOD 2:

Division is the opposite of multiplication

Start with the formula to calculate the percentage of total

y=value÷ percentage/100

Substitute values in the equation

y=45÷60/100

Simplify and solve

y=45÷0.6

y=75

Both methods give you 75, therefore 75 tickets have been sold

Write an equivalent expression by distributing the "-−" sign outside the parentheses:
saw5 [17]

Answer:

1.5q - 5r = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

All you need to do here is negate each term inside the brackets, which allows you to get rid of the minus sign and the brackets.

-(-1.5q + 5r) = 2

is exactly the same as saying:

-1 × (-1.5q + 5r) = 2

And if we multiply each term in the brackets by negative one, we get:

(1.5q - 5r) = 2

And now the brackets can go, leaving you with:

1.5q - 5r = 2
