A newsboy notices he has four times as many dimes as quarters. if his dimes and quarters total$1.95, how many of each has he?

1 answer:

4 0

D=4q
25q+10d=195
5q+2d=39

sub 4q foro d
5q+2(4q)=39
5q+8q=39
13q=39
divide 13
q=3

d=4q
d=4(3)
d=12

12 dimes
3 quarters

X would be 84 degrees, since its corresponding angle would be worth 84.

Here's a problem for the minds-good luck!

Art [367]

Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion: $\frac{280}{1400} = \frac{x}{100}$
Cross multiply, then divide: 280 × 100 = 28000, 28000 ÷ 1400 = 20
So, 20% were satisfied with their car

I hope this helps!

Find the values of k so that each remainder is three. 10. (x^2+ 5x + 7) = (x + k)

Goryan [66]

Answer:

$k=1\text{ or } k=4$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Polynomial Remainder Theorem. It states that if we divide a polynomial P(x) by a binomial in the form (x - a), then our remainder will be P(a).

We are dividing:

$(x^2+5x+7)\div(x+k)$

So, a polynomial by a binomial factor.

Our factor is (x + k) or (x - (-k)). Using the form (x - a), our a = -k.

We want our remainder to be 3. So, P(a)=P(-k)=3.

Therefore:

$(-k)^2+5(-k)+7=3$

Simplify:

$k^2-5k+7=3$

Solve for k. Subtract 3 from both sides:

$k^2-5k+4=0$

Factor:

$(k-1)(k-4)=0$

Zero Product Property:

$k-1=0\text{ or } k-4=0$

Solve:

$k=1\text{ or } k=4$

So, either of the two expressions:

$(x^2+5x+7)\div(x+1)\text{ or } (x^2+5x+7)\div(x+4)$

Will yield 3 as the remainder.

A target with a diameter of 14cm has 4 scoring zones by concentric circles. The diameter of the center circle is 2 cm. The width

Leni [432]

Answer:

$48.98\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The probability that it will hit a point in the outer (yellow) ring is equal to divide the area of the yellow ring by the total area of the target

step 1

Find the area of the yellow ring

$A=\pi [7^{2} -5^{2}]$

$A=24\pi\ cm^{2}$

step 2

Find the total area of the target

$A=\pi [7^{2}]$

$A=49\pi\ cm^{2}$

step 3

Find the probability

$24\pi/49\pi=0.4898$

Convert to percentage

$0.4898*100=48.98\%$
