Answer:

28 nickels and 58 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

This situation has two unknowns - the total number of dimes and the total number of nickels. Because we have two unknowns, we will write a system of equations with two equations using the two unknowns.  

• d+n=80 is an equation representing the total number of coins

• 0.10d+0.05n=6.60 is an equation representing the total value in money based on the number of coin. 0.10 and 0.05 come from the value of a dime and nickel individually.

We write the first equation in terms of n by subtracting it across the equal sign to get d=80-n. We now substitute this for d in the second equation.

0.10(80-n)+0.25n=6.60\\8-0.10n+0.05n=6.60\\8-0.05q=6.60

After simplifying, we subtract 8 across and divide by the coefficient of n.

8-0.05q=6.60\\-0.05q=-1.4\\n=28

We now know of the 80 coins that 28 are nickels. To find the total number of dimes, we subtract 28 from 80 to get 52 dimes.

Answer:

$10

Step-by-step explanation:

The question made is How much did I have? This question is about the amount of money that you had before receiving the money from your mom, dad and aunt and uncle. This means that the answer is the $3 you had plus the other $7 you said you had. So, $3+$7=$10. You had $10.

What is the surface area of the figure 8" 8" 12"
fgiga [73]
First, find the surface area of the bigger sides (there are 4 of them so what you get for one you will multiply by 4)

12 x 8 = 96

96 x 4 = 384

Then find the surface area of the smaller sides ( there are two small sides so multiply your answer by two)

8 x 8 = 64

64 x 2 =128

Then add both together 

128 +384 =  512

Hope this helps :)
