Let h = the number of half dollars in the jar
and q = the number of quarters

h + q = 30
0.5h + 0.25q = 8.75

multiply the second equation by -2 to get
-h - 0.5q = -17.5

Now add the new equation and the first to eliminate h
h + q = 30
-h - 0.5q = -17.5
----------------------------
0.5q = 12.5
q = 25

There are 25 quarters, so there must be 5 half dollars

Divide 20 chocolates between Adi and Suresh such that adi gets 60% while Suresh gets 40% of the chocolates
Eddi Din [679]

Hello!

To find how much chocolate Adi and Suresh receives, you need to convert the percentage to a decimal, then you multiply that decimal by the total number of chocolates, which is 20.

To convert percentages to decimals, divide the percentage by 100, and remove the percentage.

60% / 100 = 0.60

20% / 100 = 0.20

Then, we multiply 0.60 and 0.20 by 20.

0.60 x 20 = 12

0.40 x 20 = 8

Therefore, Adi gets 12 chocolates and Suresh gets 8 chocolates.

Welll the y-intercept is negative 2 so on the y axis the first point is negative 2. 1/4 is the rise over run so you would go up from your first point one unit and over to the left four units or vise versa down one unit and over to the right four units, or the image
