Answer:
25x + 5y + z cents
Step-by-step explanation:
1 quarter is worth 25 cents.
1 nickel is worth 5 cents.
1 penny is worth 1 cent.
Therefore, x quarters, y nickels and x pennies will be worth:
(x * 25) + (y * 5) + (z * 1)
= 25x + 5y + z cents
Let's call 'it' x. 1/2 is equal to one third of x, so we could say that 1/3x = 1/2
Now we just have a simple equation to solve:
1/3x = 1/2
x = (1/2) / (1/3)
Dividing by a rational number (such as 1/3, which is expressed in fraction form) is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal (the reciprocal of a fraction is itself when the numerator and denominator have been swapped). Therefore
x = (1/2) / (1/3) = (1/2) * 3 = 3/2 = 1.5
To check this answer, test the statement. Half is a third of x, where x=1.5:
1.5 / 3 = 0.5 = 1/2
The answer is : 20x^50
