A collection of dimes and quarters is worth $6.50. There are 35 coins in all. How many dimes are there?

DIA [1.3K]

Lets do this like this:
X = number of quarters and y=number of dimes.
Now, we know that the total number is 35 and that the change adds up to 6.50.
One equation we can form is <span>x+y=35</span>Remember the total number of coins is 35.
The other equation is <span>25x+.1y=6.5</span>Because the number of dimes times their value plus the number of quarters times their value gives us a total of 6.5. Now we can solve for x or y easily in the first equation.
Solving for y like this:<span>y=35−x</span>We can substitute this into the other equation to obtain<span>.25x+.1(35−x)=6.5</span>This simplifies to<span>.15x+3.5=6.5</span><span>.15x=3</span><span>x=<span>20
I hope this can help you indeed</span></span>

A coin bank that excepts only nickels and dimes contains $9.15. There are three more than twice as many nickels as there are dim

valentinak56 [21]

45 dimes and 93 nickels were in bank

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "n" be the number of nickels

Let "d" be the number of dimes

We know that,

value of 1 nickel = $ 0.05

value of 1 dime = $ 0.10

<em><u>Given that There are three more than twice as many nickels as there are dimes</u></em>

Number of nickels = 3 + 2(number of dimes)

n = 3 + 2d ---- eqn 1

<em><u>Also given that coin bank that excepts only nickels and dimes contains $9.15</u></em>

number of nickels x value of 1 nickel + number of dimes x value of 1 dime = 9.15

$n \times 0.05 + d \times 0.10 = 9.15$

0.05n + 0.10d = 9.15 ---- eqn 2

<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>

Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2

0.05(3 + 2d) + 0.10d = 9.15

0.15 + 0.1d + 0.10d = 9.15

0.2d = 9

From eqn 1

n = 3 + 2(45)

n = 3 + 90 = 93

Thus 45 dimes and 93 nickels were in bank

Use the following information for problems 1 – 3. Suppose you sign a contract for an annual salary of $50,000 with a guaranteed

erik [133]

Initial salary = $50,000 .

Rate of raise = 5% each year.

Therefore, each next year salary would be 105% that is 1.05 times.

5% of 50,000 = 0.05 × 50000 = 2500.

Therefore raise is $2500 each year.

According to geometric sequence first term 50000 and common ratio 1.05.

Applying geometric sequence formula

$a_n = ar^{n-1}$

1) $a_n = 50000(1.05)^{n-1}$

2) In order to find salary in 5 years we need to plug n=5, we get

$a_5 = 50000(1.05)^{5-1}= 50000(1.05)^4$

= 50000(1.21550625)

3) In order to find the total salary in 10 years we need to apply sum of 10 terms formula of a geometric sequence.

$S_n = \frac{a(1-r^n}{1-r}$

Plugging n=10, a = 50000 and r= 1.05.

$S_10 = \frac{50000(1-(1.05)^{10}}{1-1.05}$

$S_10 = \frac{50000(0.050)^{10}}{0.05}$

= 628894.62678.

<h3>Therefore , you will have earned $ 628894.62678 in total salary by the end of your 10th year.</h3>

1. Choose the description that matches the inequality. x < 1

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

A line traveling to the left with an open dot on x=1.

Explanation:

The inequality x < 1 basically means "less than 1." On number lines, the further left you go, the smaller the number becomes, and the further right you go, the larger the number becomes. So we know that because it's less or smaller than 1, then the line will be to the left. On the other hand, the inequality does not have a line under it to indicate a "less than or equal to 1," just "less than." Therefore, the dot is open. If there were a line under the inequality, then it would indicate "less than or equal to 1" and the dot would be closed.
