Answer:
180 coins
Explanation:
N = number of nickels (no nickels spent)
D = number of dimes initially saved
D' = number of dimes left after spending
1) N = D + 43
2) D' = D - 17
3) N = 2*D' = 2*(D - 17)
Set equations 1) and 3) equal to each other and solve for D:
D + 43 = 2*(D - 17)
D + 43 = 2*D - 34
D = 43 + 34 = 77
N = D + 43 = 77 + 43 = 120 nickels left
D' = D - 17 = 77 - 17 = 60 dimes left
Total coins left = 120 + 60 = 180 coins (I hope this is not too confusing for you)
6+8+4+2=20
2/20 to grab mango can = 1/10
8/19 (remove one for previous) fro grape juice
6/18 for apple juice = 1/3
1/10*8/19*1/3
=
8/570
=
4/285
The answer is x = 2 and y = 17
Answer:
first get the total ratio; 2 + 5 = 7
so the fraction of blue marbles is 5/7
then assume the number of total marbles to be k
then use the expression;
5/7*k = 65
7*5/7 * k = 65*7
5k =455
5/5k = 455/5
k = 91
then calculate the number if red marbles from;
x = 2/7*91
x = 26
Therefore there are 26 red marbles.
