Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You can split the coins into 3 groups, each of them has 3 coins. Weigh group 1 vs group 2, if one is lighter, that group has the fake coin. If both groups weigh the same, then group 3 has the fake coin.
Continue to split the group that has the fake coin into 3 groups, each group has 1 coin. Now apply the same procedure and we can identify the fake coin.
Total of scale usage is 2
b) if you have
coins then you can apply the same approach and find the fake coin with just n steps. By splitting up to 3 groups each step, after each step you should be able to narrow down your suspected coin by 3 times.
Step 1: you narrow down to group of
coins
Step 2: you narrow down to group of
coins
Step 3: you narrow down to group of
coins
...
Step n: Step 1: you narrow down to group of
coin
Let X= the number of tickets sold at $35 each
Let 350 -X = the number of tickets sold at $25 each
The number of tickets sold for each type will be computed as follows:
X(35)+(350-X)25=10250
35X+8750-25X=10250
10X=10250-8750
X=1500/10
X=150 the number of tickets sold at $35 each
350-150 the number of tickets sold at $25 each
To recheck:
150(35)+200(25)
5250+5000
10250
Joanna bought 7 notebooks and 14 pencils
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
Let x denote the number of notebooks and y denote the number of pencils Joanna bought.
Cost of one notebook = $ 2.30
Cost of one pencil = $1.42
Step 2 :
Total of notebooks and pencils bought = 21
=> x + y = 21 => y = 21-x
Total cost of notebooks and pencils = $35.98
=> 2.3x + 1.42y = 35.98
Substituting y = 21- x here , we have,
2.3x + 1.42 ( 21-x) = 35.98
2.3x + 29.82 - 1.42x = 35.98
0.88 x = 6.16
=> x = 7
y = 21-x = 21-7 = 14
Step 3 :
Answer :
Joanna bought 7 notebooks and 14 pencils
