Answer:
77 nickels
106 dimes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let there be n nickes and d dimes
Since there are 183 coins, we can write:
n + d = 183
Also, the value of nickel is 0.05 and dime is 0.1, total value is 14.45, so we can write:
0.05n + 0.1d = 14.45
Solving 1st equation for n, we have:
n = 183 - d
Putting this into 2nd equation and solving for d:
There are 106 dimes
Since, n = 183 - d
n = 183 - 106
n = 77
There are 77 nickels
A + b + c = 72
a = b - 1
c = b + 1
(b - 1) + b + (b + 1) = 72
Simplify
3b = 72
b = 24
a = 24 - 1
a = 23
Total students = 1295
Number of women = 714
Percentage of women = 714/1295 x 100 = 55.14%
------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: 55.14% of the students are women.

Subtract 2.1 from both sides:
Add 1.4y to both sides:
Of course, we can rewrite this as
Divide both sides by 1.4
