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.

Help please i am stuck on what to do
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

These are confusing Beth , b/c you have to remember that they will add to 100%

Step-by-step explanation:

so

green = 3*  yellow

100% = green + yellow + 35% + 25%

100% = 3* yellow + yellow +60%

40% = 4* yellow

10% = yellow

30% = green

there are 14 purples in the bag , which is 35% of total

14/.35 = 40

there are a total of 40 pins

so

4    are yellow  (10% of 40  or 40* 0.1)

12 are green    (30% of 40  or 40*0.3)

14  are purple  (35% of 40 or 40*0.35)

10  are grey  (25% of 40  or 40*0.25 )

A 500 g model train car traveling at 0.8 m/s collides with a 300 g stationary car. The cars hook up and move off down the track
sdas [7]

Answer:

0.5ms^{-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let v be the speed after the collision of both the cars.

Now, momentum is given by: mass × velocity, then by equating the total momentum before and after the collision of the two cars, we get

500{\times}0.8+300{\times}0=(500+300)v

⇒400+0=800v

⇒400=800v

⇒v=0.5ms^{-1}

Thus, they are moving at the velocity of 0.5ms^{-1}
