8*  oranges + 1 graperfuit = 4.60

6* oranges + 3 grapefruit = 4.80

multiply the first equation by 3

24 oranges + 3 grapefruit = 13.8

subtract the 2nd equation

24 oranges + 3 grapefruit = 13.8

-6* oranges + 3 grapefruit = 4.80

---------------------------------------------------

18 oranges = 9

oranges = .50


6 oranges + 3 grapefruit = 4.80

6 * .5 + 3 grapefruit = 4.80

3 + 3 grapefruit = 4.80

subtract 3 from each side

3 grapefruit = 1.80

grapefruit = .60

Answer: oranges  $ .50

grapefruit = $.60

A jar of quarters and dimes contains $20.00. There are 110 coins in all. How many of each are there?
VikaD [51]

Answer:

There are 50 dimes and 110-50 = 60 quarters in the collection.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let D be the number of dimes.

Then the number of quarters is (110-D).

The "value equation" is

10D + 25*(110-D) = 2000.

Simplify and solve for D:

10D + 2750 - 25D = 2000,

-15D = 2000 - 2750,

-15D = -750,

D = %28-750%29%2F%28-15%29 = 50.

Olivia flips a two-sided counter and then spins a spinner with six equal-size sections labeled 1 through 6. One side of the coun
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

A 2 - sided counter ; (red, yellow)

A spinner (1,2,3,4,5,6)

Number of trials = 80

P(red and number > 3) :

P(red) = 1/2 ;

P(number >3) : numbers greater Than 3 = (4, 5, 6)

Hence, P(number <3) = 3 /6 = 1/2

Theoretical probability = 1/2 *1/2 = 1/4

Expected number of outcomes :

1/4 * number of trials

1/4 * 80 = 20

Experimental outcome :

Relative frequency = number of outcomes / number of trials

Relative frequency = 2/5

Hence,

2/5 = number of outcomes / 80

Cross multiply :

160 = number of outcomes * 5

Number of outcomes = 160 /5 = 32

Actual outcomes = 32

Difference between actual and expected :

32 - 20 = 12
