The eqaution i use for this is:


(cross multiply)
(25.83)(100) = (x)(49.5) (multipy)
2583 = 49.5x (divide by 49.5 on both sides)
52.181818182 = x
Greater than 4.
The square root of 20 is equivalent to 2 root 5. If you convert this to a decimal you get 4.4721 which is greater than 4.
Given maria has
in the pennies & quarters.
she has twice as many pennies as quarters.
find out the coins
let us assume the quarters are x
than the pennies are 2x.
Formula
value of the pennies + value of the quarters = total value of coins
1 quarters =$ 0.25
1 pennies = $0.01
Thus
0.25x + 0.01 (2x) = 2.43
0.27 x = 2.43
x = 9
2x = 18
i.e the number of quarters are 9 and the number of pennies are 18.
Hence proved
