A collection of dimes and nickels is worth 3.30. if there are 42 coins in total how many of each kind of coin are there?
grin007 [14]
1 nickels =$0.05
1 dime= $0.1
let the number of nickels be x and that of dimes be y.
total number of coins is given by:
x+y=42
hence:
y=42-x.......i

total amount of cash will be:
0.05x+0.1y=3.30.........ii
substituting i in ii we get:
0.05x+0.1(42-x)=3.30
0.05x+4.2-0.1x=3.3
-0.05x=-0.9
x=-0.9/(-0.05)
x=18
hence the the number nickels is x=18, the number of dimes will be y=42-x=42-18=24

Solve the following word problem. A man travels from town X to town Y at an average rate of 60 mph and returns at an average spe
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

  • d = 1650 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance be d

<u>Then the time in travel is</u>

  • d/60 one way, d/50 on return

<u>The round trip would take 1/2 hours longer if the average speed was 55 mph</u>

  • d/60 + d/50 = 2d/55 + 1/2
  • d/60 + d/50 - 2d/55 = 1/2

LCM(60,50,55) = 11*12*5*5 = 3300

  • 55d/3300 + 66d/3300 - 120d/3300 = 1/2
  • d/3300= 1/2
  • d = 1650 miles

The graph represents a distribution of data.
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Mean = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Step 1: Write the mean formula</em>

Mean = sum of data/ total number of data

<em>Step 2: Calculate the sum of data</em>

35 + 40 + 45 +50 + 55 + 60 + 65 = 350

<em>Step 3: Find the total number of data</em>

Total number of data = 7

<em>Step 4: Calculate the mean</em>

Mean = sum of data/ total number of data

Mean = 350/7

Mean = 50

Therefore, the mean of this data is 50.
