The correct way to express your answer somewhat escapes me for the moment (insomnia for days) but the first answer doesn't satisfy ALL of your question because the total amount of money exceeds the given total of $4.25. I know that you have 15 quarters and 5 dimes to satisfy everything. 15+5=20 coins and 15x.25=3.75
5x.10=.50
$3.75 + .50 = $4.25
I hope this helps and you can convey it properly.

25q + 10d = 425
q + d = 20

First thing's first, picture 4 quarters. Do you know how much these 4 quarters are worth? Obviously, you'd answer one dollar, but take the time to think about how exactly you came up with this answer.

"Well, it's simple," you might think, "Multiply 0.25 by 4."

Similar to this train of thought, the first equation is formulated by doing exactly that. 'q' represents an unknown number of quarters, and 'd' an unknown number of dimes. We use 25q and 10d, because, well, we're multiplying their value by the number of coins. They're equivalent to 425 because the 20 unknown coins make $4.25 (I converted it to cents to get rid of the pesky decimals, but if you want to keep it as dollars that works too).

Because the equation states that there are 20 coins in total, we know that we can make the equation 'q + d = 20' since there are 20 quarters and dimes in total.

Let me know if you need any further explanation :)

A public health official is planning for the supplyof influenza vaccine needed for the upcoming flu season. She wants to estimat
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.04}{1.64})^2}=420.25  

And rounded up we have that n=421

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the sample proportion have the following distribution:

\hat p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 90% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.90=0.1 and \alpha/2 =0.05. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-1.64, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.64

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:  

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}    (a)  

And on this case we have that ME =\pm 0.04 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:  

n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}   (b)  

We assume that a prior estimation for p would be \hat p =0.5 since we don't have any other info provided. And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.04}{1.64})^2}=420.25  

And rounded up we have that n=421

one interior angle of a polygon is a right angle and each of the other interior angles is 126°. Calculate the number of sides of
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

There are 7 sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's Use the formula that states that the sum of the angles of an n-sided polygon is given by.

S=(n−2)180

Since we are given that the two angles are right, the angles and each of the remaining angles is 144.

And Therefore, the sum is:

S=90

(n−2)144

(n−2)180

=90

+90

+(n−2)144

⇒(n−2)180

−(n−2)144

=180

⇒(n−2)(180

−144

)=180

⇒(n−2)(36

=180

⇒n−2=

36

180

​⇒n−2=5

⇒n=5+2=7

Hence, the polygon has 7 sides.

A hexagonal pyramid that has a slant height of 39 cm and its hexagonal base has a radius of 10√3 cm.
VMariaS [17]

Answer: 225

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the pyramid is calculated as 1/3 bh, where b is base and h is height

Given height as 39cm and a base of 10√3cm = 10 x √3, where √3= 1.73; base = 10 x 1.73 = 17.3

Slot the values into the formula:

Volume = 1/3 × 17.3 x 39

= 1/3 × 674.7 = 674.7/3

Volume = 224.9 approximately 225.

I hope this helps.
