You have quarters and dimes that total $2.80. your friends says its possible that the number of quarters is 8 more than the numb

Sidana [21]

$\text{Let the number of dimes be x, then as per the friend the number of }\\
\text{quarters should be 8 more than dimes, so number of quarters}=x+8\\
\\
\text{we know that the value of 1 dime is }\$ 0.10 \text{ value of one quarter is }\$0.25\\
\\
\text{And since the total value of quarters and dimes is }\$2.80, \text{ so we have}\\
\\
0.10(x)+0.25(x+8)=2.80\\
\\
\Rightarrow 0.10x+0.25x+2=2.80\\
\\
\Rightarrow 0.35x=2.80-2\\
\\
\Rightarrow 0.35x=0.80$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{0.80}{0.35}=2.29\\
\\
\text{so if we take 2 dimes then we'll have to take 10 quarters according to friend.}\\
\\
\text{So the statement of friend is }$ WRONG

Ripley’s Aquarium charges $29.95 for (a) adults and $13.95 for (c) children. Write an expression to represent admission pricing

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

T=29.95a + 13.95c

Step-by-step explanation:

For this equation let a=amount of adult tickets, c=amount of children tickets, and T=the total cost. Since each adult ticket costs 29.95 dollars that needs to be multiplied by the number of adult tickets to see how much was spent on adults, the same goes for the price and number of children tickets. Finally, both of those totals need to be added together to see how much is spent overall for all of the guests.
