Answer:

Bicycle: 30 miles/hour

Scooter: 40 miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of the bicycle be s,

Then the speed of the scooter is:

s + 10

Distance = speed × time

Distances covered:

Bicycle: (s)(5½) = 5.5s

Scooter: (s + 10)(3) = 3s + 30

Total:

5.5s + 3s + 30

8.5s + 30

8.5s + 30《285

8.5s《255

s《30

s + 10《40

A jar of quarters and dimes contains $20.00. There are 110 coins in all. How many of each are there?
VikaD [51]

Answer:

There are 50 dimes and 110-50 = 60 quarters in the collection.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let D be the number of dimes.

Then the number of quarters is (110-D).

The "value equation" is

10D + 25*(110-D) = 2000.

Simplify and solve for D:

10D + 2750 - 25D = 2000,

-15D = 2000 - 2750,

-15D = -750,

D = %28-750%29%2F%28-15%29 = 50.
