N=number of nickles
d=number of dimes
n is 2 times d
n=2d
total money is 1.20
convert to cens
120 cetns
5n+10d=120
n=2d
5(2d)+10d=120
10d+10d=120
20d=120
divide both sides by 120
d=6
6 dimes is answer
answer is A, 6 dimes
Answer:
a) T= 3.125h
b) $75
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: We know Tania raised $50 for staying awake 16 hours. We also know the amount of money raised varies directly with the time.
We can divide $50 into 16 hours.
50/16 = 25/8
25/8 = 3.125
3.125 = 3 1/8 (You can use a fraction or decimal, whichever is preferred)
That's how much money she earns per hour. It may not make sense because you have 1/8 of a dollar, so it's okay if you're a little confused on that.
Now let's answer the first question: Write an equation relating the money Tania raised and the amount of time, in hours, she stayed awake.
We know Tania earns $3.125 per hour, so we can make it this equation
T= 3.125h
T can represent Tania's earnings, and 3.125 is how much she earns h, hourly.
Now onto the second question: How much would she have raised by staying awake for 24 h?
We need to multiply 3.125, or 3 1/8, 24 times. Your answer should be $75.
