Answer:
He received 10 dimes and 15 quarters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Dimes = $0.10
Quarters = $0.25
Variable x = dimes
Variable y = quarters
Create a pair of linear equations:
0.10x + 0.25y = 4.75
x + y = 25
Isolate any variable, using an equation of your choice:
x + y = 25
x = 25 - y
Plug in this new value of x into the other equation:
0.10(25 - y) + 0.25y = 4.75
Use the distributive property:
2.5 - 0.10y + 0.25y = 4.75
Combine like terms:
2.5 + 0.15y = 4.75
Isolate variable y:
0.15y = 2.25
y = 15
Plug in the value of y into any equation:
x + y = 25
x + 15 = 25
Isolate variable x:
x = 10
Answer:
the answer is b on oddesseyware
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: A, or 0.2x
Step-by-step explanation:
To figure how expressions and percent's match up, replace the x with an easy number. For example, I use 4.
20% of 4 is 0.8, and 4 x 0.2 is also 0.8
Therefore, the expression to represent that percentage is A.
Also, the other answers were WAYYY off.
B, or x - 20 is flawed since x could be anything.
C, is also flawed in the same way.
And D makes -76.
A is the only sensible one and is proven to work.
Hope this helped!
