Answer:

91 pennies.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that 5 types of groups of pennies: group of 2, group of 3, group of 5, group of 6, and group of 7. If the pennies are arranged in the groups of 7, no pennies are left over. This means that the number of pennies has to be a multiple of 7 in order to satisfy this constraint. In the rest of the groups, there will always be 1 penny remaining without any remaining. This means that the number of pennies will yield the remainder of 1 if it is divided by 2, 3, 5, and 6. Possible multiples of 7:

0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, 77, 84, 91, 98...

The number which satisfies the above conditions is 91. Since 91 divided by 7 is 13 and if 91 is divided by other numbers, the remainder will always be 1. Therefore, there are 91 pennies!!!

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h bet the # of hours worked

If Cynthia earns $13 per hour then her equation would be:

C = $13h

If Amy makes $1.5 more per hour then her equation would be:

A = $14.5x

Now lets plug in some numbers:)

A = $14.5(43.5)

A = $630.75
