Answer:

24 quarters and 49 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

This situation has two unknowns - the total number of nickels and the total number of quarters. Because we have two unknowns, we will write a system of equations with two equations using the two unknowns.

  • n+q=73 is an equation representing the total number of coins
  • 0.05n+0.25q=8.45 is an equation representing the total value in money based on the number of coin. 0.05 and 0.25 come from the value of a nickel and quarter individually.

We write the first equation in terms of q by subtracting it across the equal sign to get n=73-q. We now substitute this for n in the second equation.

0.05(73-q)+0.25q=8.45

3.65-0.05q+0.25q=8.45

3.65+0.20q=8.45

After simplifying, we subtract 3.65 across and divide by the coefficient of q.

0.20q=4.8

q=24

We now know of the 73 coins that 24 are quarters. To find the number of nickels, we subtract 24 from 73 and get 49 nickels.

This football field has 36 squares. As each square's area is 1 m^2. So, total area is 36 m^2.
the area = 8×1 = 8 m^2( this portion is not shaded )
i.e, the area of shaded part will be (36-8) = 28 m^2.
