Divide the perimeter by 2, this will give you the sum of one length and one width.
68/2 = 34 yards
Now the length is 10 yards more, so subtract 10 from the 34 and divide by 2 again:
34 - 10 = 24
24 /2 = 12
The width is 12 yards.
The length is 12 + 10 = 22 yards.
Answer:14
Step-by-step explanation:
A nickel is 5 cents (20% of dollar)
and a quarter is 25 cents (25% of dollar)
We have given a pile of 42 coins worth of $4.90
Let x be the no nickels and
y be the no of quarter
therefore
x+y=42 -----1
+
=4.90 ---2
Solving
we get
x=14 & y=28
Therefore no of nickels is 14 & no of quarters is 28
