Answer:

Barney got 14 dimes and Betty got 10 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are only dimes and quarters in the parking meter, the total money must be equal to:

0.1*dimes + 0.25*quarters = 3.9

Since Barney got all the dimes and he has four more coins than Betty, then the number of dimes is:

dimes = quarters + 4

Applying the second expression on the first, we have:

0.1*(quarters + 4) + 0.25*quarters = 3.9\\0.1*quarters + 0.4 + 0.25*quarters = 3.9\\0.35*quarters = 3.9 - 0.4\\0.35*quarters = 3.5\\quarters = \frac{3.5}{0.35} = 10

dimes = quarters + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14

Barney got 14 dimes and Betty got 10 quarters.

The school store sells erasers for $0.35 each and pencils for $0.15 each. Anthony spent $2.80 to buy a total of 12 erasers and p
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

5 erasers.

Step-by-step explanation:

0.35e + 0.15p = 2.80

e + p = 12

e = 12 - p

0.35(12 - p) + 0.15p = 2.80

4.2 - 0.35p + 0.15p = 2.80

4.2 - 0.2p = 2.80

-0.2p = -1.4

-0.2p/-0.2p = -1.4/-0.2

p = 7

e = 12 - 7

e = 5
