Set up a system of equations.
d + q = 75
.1d + .25q = 14.25

Multiply the first equation by -.1 so that the "d's" will cancel.
-.1d -.1q = -7.5
.1d +.25q = 14.25
Now add the two equations together
.15q = 6.75
divide both sides by .15
q = 45
There are 45 quarters in the jar

Answer:

(x-4)(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

So you need 2 numbers that add up to -5x and add up to 4.

Since the product of two numbers is positive and the sum is negative, you can determine that both numbers are negative. Now if this is the case, then you can factor and you'll get

The answer is 66.

Three people split an amount of money. 1 268 dollars and 1 gets 200 dollars. The third gets 40 percent. What is the amount?

Maksim231197 [3]

The total amount is $ 780

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let the total amount be "x"

Given that,

First person gets $ 268

Second person gets $ 200

Third person gets 40 %

This means, third person gets 40 % of total amount

Third person = 40 % of x

$Third\ person = 40 \% \times x\\\\Third\ person = \frac{40}{100} \times x\\\\Third\ person = 0.4x$

We know that, total amount is equal to sum of amount got by all three persons

Total amount = first person + second person + third perosn

$x = 268 + 200+ 0.4x\\\\x - 0.4x = 268 + 200\\\\0.6x = 468\\\\x = \frac{468}{0.6}\\\\x = 780$

Thus the total amount is $ 780
