Answer:

Tiffany has 13 dimes and 4 nickels.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, you will need to write a systems of equations, n will be the number of nickels and d will be the number of dimes.

n+d=17 This means that the number of nickels plus the number of dimes is equal to 17.

5n+10d=150, This means that for each nickel, there is 5 cents and for each dime, there is 10 cents. The equation is equal to 150 cent because the coins are worth 150 cents.

Next, solve the system:

n+d=17

5n+10d=150 First simplify the second equation by dividing it all by 5.

n+d=17

n+2d=30, Next, isolate n to use substitution on the system.

n=17-d

n=30-2d, Substitute n to solve for d

17-d=30-2d, Solve for d

d=13, this means that there are 13 dimes, plug in the d value in either of the equations to find n.

n+(13)=17

n=4, There are 4 nickles

Alma invests $300 in an account that compounds interest annually. After 2 years, the balance of the account is $329.49. To the n

-Dominant- [34]

Invested amount (P) = $300.

Time in years (t) = 2 years.

Balance after 2 years (A) = $329.49.

Let us assume rate of interest = r % compounds annually.

We know, formula for compound interest

$A=P(1+r)^t$

Plugging values in formula, we get

$329.49=300(1+r)^2$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}300$

$\frac{300\left(1+r\right)^2}{300}=\frac{329.49}{300}$

$\left(1+r\right)^2=1.0983$

Taking square root on both sides, we get

$1+r=\sqrt{1.0983}$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}1\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}$

$1+r-1=\sqrt{1.0983}-1$

$r=\sqrt{1.0983}-1$

$r=1.048-1$

r=0.048.

Converting it into percentage by multiplying by 100.

r=0.048 × 100

r = 4.8 %

Therefore, the rate of interest on the account is 4.8% compounds annually.
