Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
This situation has two unknowns - the total number of half dollars and the total number of quarters. Because we have two unknowns, we will write a system of equations with two equations using the two unknowns.
- h+q=31 is an equation representing the total number of coins
- 0.50h+0.25q=11 is an equation representing the total value in money based on the number of coin. 0.50 and 0.25 come from the value of a half dollar and quarter individually.
We write the first equation in terms of q by subtracting it across the equal sign to get h=31-q. We now substitute this for h in the second equation.
0.50(31-q)+0.25q=11
15.5-0.50q+0.25q=11
15.5-0.25q=11
After simplifying, we subtract 15.5 across and divide by the coefficient of q.
-0.25q=-4.5
q=4
We now know of the 31 coins that 4 are quarters.
The answer is A.) 5 because it’s the smaller number
The answer to this question should be 114
The total amount Ernest owes the bank after 9 months is $1,225.00
How many months of interest would be paid?
The fact the loan was taken for nine months means that the borrower, Ernest needs to pay interest for nine months, in other words, we would time-apportion the annual interest of 30% to determine the 9-month interest as shown below:
9-month interest rate=30%*9/12
9-month interest rate=22.50%
The amount Ernest is owing the bank is the principal borrowed plus the interest for 9 months as computed below:
total amount owed after 9 months=$1000*(1+22.50%)
total amount owed after 9 months=$1000*1.2250
total amount owed after 9 months=$1,225.00
