Let the number of nickels be = n
Let the number of dimes be = d
Let the number of quarter be = q
Total money William has = $12.80
As given, there are 3 times as many quarters as nickels
And 20 more dimes than nickels
As total money is $12.80
Putting the values of 'q' and 'd' to find 'n'
Hence the number of nickels are = 12
If you want to also find dime and quarter, then
Answer:
<u>The equations system is:</u>
<u>x + y = 10</u>
<u>0.5x + 0.9y = 6</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
Liters of 60% acid solution needed = 10
x = Number of liters of the 50% solution
y = Number of liters of the 90% solution
2. Which equation represents the total liters of acid that are needed?
There are two equations needed:
The first one related to the total liters needed, 10 in this case:
x + y = 10
The second one related to the acid concentration of the 10 liters:
0.5x + 0.9y = 10 * 0.6
0.5x + 0.9y = 6
<u>The equations system is:</u>
<u>x + y = 10</u>
<u>0.5x + 0.9y = 6</u>
Solving for x and y in the 2nd equation, we have:
0.5 (10 - y) + 0.9y = 6
5 - 0.5y + 0.9y = 6
0.4y = 6 - 5
0.4y = 1
y = 1/0.4 = 2.5 ⇒ x = 7.5 (10 - 2.5)
The scientist can mix 7.5 liters of the 50% acid solution and 2.5 liters of the 90% acid solution to get the 10 liters of the 60% acid solution.
Sry idk wish I could know but good luck
Answer is B
Find perimeter then divide by 3 (because price is per 3 meters) then times by 500 to get the answer
