I have seen this question before and I think you meant 10 more dimes than nickels.
We can use substitution to answer this question. The value of a nickel is 5 cents, and we can use the variable n to represent the number of nickels. The value of a dime is 10 cents, and we can use the variable d to represent the number of dimes.
First lets figure out the equations.
.10d+.5n=2.80 (the number of nickels (n) multiplied by .5 will tell us their money value. Same thing for the dimes)
d-n=10 (since there are 13 more dimes than nickels, the number of dimes value (d) minus the number of nickels value (n) will give us 10)
Now lets isolate a variable in one of the equations, preferably the second one because it doesn't have any visible coefficients,
d-n=10
-n=10-d (subtracted the d from both sides)
n=-10+d (made the n positive)
Now that we have the value of n, we can plug it into the other equation.
.10d+.05n=2.80
.10d+.05(-10+d)=2.80 (we replaced the n with the value that we previously got)
.10d-.5+.05d=2.80 (did the multiplication)
.15d-.5=2.80 (combined like terms)
.15d=3.30 (added the .5 to both sides)
d=22 (divided both sides by the .15)
Now that we know that there are 22 dimes and we also know that there are 10 less nickels than dimes, so we can subtract 10 from 22 to get the number of nickels. 22-10=12
d=22
n=12
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a: Wrong. The first thing that you have to notice is that the sum goes to infinity. If you want k=4 to be the last condition, then take out the 3 dots.
b: That's the answer.
c: wrong. You get a real mess when you let set k = 0. Try it on your calculator.
1 ÷ 0 = Watch carefully as your calculator mentally melts down.
d: wrong. It's just not right. The highest power is k^2. There is no way to get k^3
Answer: 54 students in each bus
Step-by-step explanation:
331 - 7 = 324
324 ÷ 6 = 54.
There were 54 students in each bus.
Cherry sales as a % of total sales = (0.5 x 1.2)/(0.5 x 1.2 + 0.2 x 1.4 + 0.3 x 1.6) = 0.6 / (0.6 + 0.28 + 0.48) = 0.6 / 1.36 = 0.4412 = 44.12%
Therefore, 44.12% of the total sales will be cherry.
