Answer:

\left\{\begin{matrix}x+y=10\\ 0.05x+0.10y=0.85\end{matrix}\right.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>System of Equations</u>

Let's call:

x = number of nickels in the student's pocket

y = number of dimes in the student's pocket

Each nickel has a value of $0.05, so x nickels have a value of 0.05x

Each dime has a value of $0.10, so y dimes have a value of 0.10y

The student has a total of 10 coins, thus:

x+y=10

The total value of the coins is $0.85, thus

0.05x+0.10y=0.85

The system of linear equations that represents this scenario is:

\left\{\begin{matrix}x+y=10\\ 0.05x+0.10y=0.85\end{matrix}\right.

Xavier can work no more than 40 hours in a week. He has already worked 24 hours this week. What is the maximum number of 8-hour
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

He can work a maximum of 2 8-hour days for the remainder of the week

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, from the question, we are made to know that the maximum work hours is 40 hours.

Now, we know that he has already worked 24 hours this week, the number of hours remains to work will be 40-24 = 16 hours

Now, given that his working hour is 8-hours per day, we want to know the number of days he has to work for the remainder of the week

Mathematically, that would be 16 hours divided by 8-hours days

That is 16/8 = 2
