Answer:Jill has 5 dimes and 3 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The worth of a dime is 10 cents. Converting to dollars, it becomes

10/100 = $0.1

The worth of a quarter is 25 cents. Converting to dollars, it becomes

25/100 = $0.25

Let x represent the number of dimes that she has in her pocket.

Let y represent the number of quarter that she has in her pocket.

There are a total of 8 coins. This means that

x + y = 8

Jill has $1.25 in her pocket. This means that

0.1x + 0.25y = 1.25 - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 8 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.1(8 - y) + 0.25y = 1.25

0.8 - 0.1y + 0.25y = 1.25

- 0.1y + 0.25y = 1.25 - 0.8

0.15y = 0.45

y = 0.45/0.15 = 3

x = 8 - y = 8 - 3

x = 5

Answer:

  • 3 quarters
  • 5 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let q represent the number of quarters (the higher-value coin). Then 8-q is the number of dimes, and Jill's total amount in change is ...

  0.25q +0.10(8-q) = 1.25

  0.15q + 0.80 = 1.25 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  0.15q = 0.45 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 0.80

  q = 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.15

  the number of dimes is 8-q = 8-3 = 5.

Jill has 3 quarters and 5 dimes.

Josh Wilson is traveling to California from South Carolina for summer vacation. The states are approximately 2500 miles apart dr
MakcuM [25]

Given, distance between South Carolina and Texas = 12x-106

Distance between Texas and California = 5x+685

Let's assume, both the distance is same.

12x-106=5x+685

=> 12x-5x = 685+106

=> 7x = 791

=>x=113

Plug x = 113 in 5x+685

5(113)+685 = 1250 Miles.

Similarly, 12(113)-106=1250 miles

Since 2500 divided by 2 = 1250 miles, hence our assumption was correct, Texas lies between both the cities.

150, I believe
"if 40% of a number is 60"            (40/100)  *  x      =  60                  (.4) x = 60                           [reduce or just write it this way]         x  = 60(.4)                       [multiply both sides by  .40]
