A nickel is equal to 5 cents or 0.05 dollars.
A quarter is equal to 25 cents or 0.25 dollars.
Let number of nickels be = n
Let number of quarters be = q
...........(1)
As it is given, there are 3 more nickels than quarters so equation becomes,
................(2)
Plug in the value of 'n' from (2) in (1)
= 
As we get, 
Hence, there are 12 nickels and 9 quarters.
Answer: Option D. 1,778
Solution:
Standard brick:
Width: w=3.625 in
Height: h=2.25 in
Length: l=7.625 in
Volumen of one standard brick: v
v=w*h*l
v=(3.625 in)*(2.25 in)*(7.625 in)
v=62.19140625 in^3
Pallet of bricks:
Side: s=4 feet
s=(4 feet)*(12 in / 1 feet)→s=48 in
Volume of a pallet of bricks: V=s^3
V=(48 in)^3
V=110,592 in^3
Number of bricks could be in a pallet: n
n=V/v
n=(110,592 in^3) / (62.19140625 in^3)
n=1,778.252119
n=1,778
Given:
6 girls
4 boys
Probability of 1 girl being chosen: 1/6
Probability of 1 boy being chosen: 1/4
Probability of another boy being chosen: 1/3
1/6 = 0.17 x 100% = 17%
1/4 = 0.25 x 100% = 25%
1/3 = 0.33 x 100% = 33%
17% + 25% + 33% = 75%
The probability that exactly one girl and two boys will receive awards is 75%.
