Answer: he has 32 quarters and 17 nickels.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

25/100 = $0.25

The worth of a nickel is 5 cents. Converting to dollars, it becomes

5/100 = $0.05

Let x represent the number of quarters that he has in her wallet.

Let y represent the number of nickels that she has in her wallet.

He has 49 coins total. This means that

x + y = 49

the total value of the coins is $8.85. This means that

0.25x + 0.05y = 8.85 - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 49 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.25(49 - y) + 0.05y = 8.85

12.25 - 0.25y + 0.05y = 8.85

- 0.25y + 0.05y = 8.85 - 12.25

0.2y = 3.4

y = 3.4/0.2

y = 17

x = 49 - y = 49 - 17

x = 32

Which new angle is created by extending one side of a triangle
8090 [49]

Answer: The correct option is (C). an exterior angle.

Step-by-step explanation: We are to select the name of the new angle that is created by extending one side of a triangle.

Let ABC be a triangle as shown in the attached figure.

∠ABC, ∠ACB and ∠BAC are three interior angles of the triangle ABC.

Let us extend the side BC towards C to point D. The newly created angle is ∠ACD.

∠ACD is called the exterior angle of ΔABC.

Therefore, the newly created angle is an exterior angle.

Thus, option (C) is correct.

Thea has a key on her calculator marked $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$. If an integer is displayed, pressing the $\textcolor
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

$9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Thea enters a positive integer into her calculator, then squares it, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key, then squares the result, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key again such that the calculator displays final number as $243$.

To find: number that Thea originally entered

Solution:

The final number is $243$.

As previously the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key was pressed,

the number before $243$ must be $324$.

As previously the number was squared, so the number before $324$ must be $18$.

As previously the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key was pressed,

the number before $18$ must be $81$

As previously the number was squared, so the number before $81$ must be $9$.

How old were the twins who played in the recital?
inna [77]
To find out how old the twins were that were in the recital you need to be able to interpret a stem and leaf plot.  The number of the left gets placed with each number on the right to create a number in the data set.  See the key for an example.  This means there were 2 people that were 5 years old making them the twins!
