Answer: 231,469.335
Step-by-step explanation:
rounded to the nearest 0.001 or the thousandths place
The answer, when rounded to the nearest tenth is 19.2
First you can get rid of the decimals by multiplying both numbers by 100, this just makes the whole problem easier. Now all that needs to be done is long division:
(In my work I didn’t realize that it said round to the nearest tenth until I had already gotten past what I needed to find)
Gold pieces the first leprechaun has: x
Gold pieces the second leprechaun has: y
<span>
The first leprechaun says to the other, ‘Give me seven of your gold pieces and I will have twice as many as you!’:
The first leprechaun would have x+7
The second leprechaun would have y-7
</span>I will have twice as many as you:
(1) x+7=2(y-7)
<span>(1) x+7=2y-14
(1) x+7-7-2y=2y-14-7-2y
(1) x-2y=-21
</span>The other one replies, ‘No way! Give me seven of yours and we’ll have the same number’
The first leprechaun would have x-7
The second leprechaun would have y+7
We’ll have the same number:
(2) x-7=y+7
(2) x-7+7-y=y+7+7-y
(2) x-y=14
<span>How many gold pieces does the first leprechaun have?
x=?
We have a system with 2 equations and two unknows (x and y). We need to solve for x:
(1) x-2y=-21
(2) x-y=14
Using the method of substitution, we can isolating y in the second equation:
(2) x-y=14
(2) x-y+y-14=14+y-14
(2) x-14=y
(2) y=x-14
And we can replace y in the first equation by x-14, and solve for x:
(1) x-2y=-21
(1) x-2(x-14)=-21
(1) x-2x+28=-21
(1) -x+28=-21
(1) -x+28-28=-21-28
(1) -x=-49
(1) (-1)*(-x=-49)
(1) x=49
Answer: T</span>he first leprechaun has 49 gold pieces
