Answer:
12 >or equal 3.50 + 2.75 + x
X is what you have left over
x > or equal to 5.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for X.
Don't let the >or equal sign intimidate you.
Treat it like and equal sign but don't replace it.
What you do on the right you must do on the left.
12.5 is already a decimal...
If you mean 12/5, then it is 2 and 2/5, which is 2.4.
If you mean 12 x 5, then it's 60.
If you mean fractions equivalent to 12.5 then it's 25/2.
If you mean decimals then 12.50, or 12.500.
Hope this helps
Number of pennies:P
Number of nickels:N
Number of dollar bills:D
P=N+12
N=D+5
1P+5N+100D=996
^given
Therefore
P=(D+5)+12
P=D+17
Plug back into main equation
(D+17)+5(D+5)+100D=996
Combine like terms
106D+42=996
106D=954
D=954/106=9
9 Dollar bills
N=D+5
N=(9)+5=14
14 Nickels
P=N+12
P=(14)+12=26
26 Pennies
26*1+14*5+9*100=996
Final answer:
9 Dollars
14 Nickels
26 Pennies
