Answer:

14 quarters and 28 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

System of Equations where x = number of quarters and y = number of nickels

(1) equation with value of each coin

    0.25(x)+0.05(y) = 4.90

(2) total number of coins

    x + y = 42

Solve system of equations using either substitution or elimination

(elimination multiplying equation 2 by -0.5)

.25(x) + 0.05(y) = 4.90

-0.05(x) - 0.05(y) = 42 * (-0.05)

(3) Resulting equation

.20(x) = 2.8

x = 14

plug x into equation 2

14 + y = 42

y = 28

There are 14 quarters and 28 nickels in Mary's collection.

Sally invests £8000 in a savings account. The account pays 2.8% compound interest per year work out the value of her investment
Alborosie

Answer: the value of her investment after 4 years is £8934.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining compound interest is expressed as

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

Where

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years

r represents the interest rate.

n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.

P represents the principal or initial amount invested.

t represents the duration of the investment in years.

From the information given,

P = 8000

r = 2.8% = 2.8/100 = 0.028

n = 1 because it was compounded once in a year.

t = 4 years

Therefore,

A = 8000(1+0.028/1)^1 × 4

A = 8000(1+0.028)^4

A = 8000(1.028)^4

A = £8934.3 to the the nearest penny

If x / 2y = 0.4 , A / 5B = 0.25 Then A + y / 5 =….... ​
shusha [124]

Answer:

\frac{x}{2y}  =  \frac{4}{10}  \\ 8y = 10x \\ y =  \frac{10x}{8} -  -  -  -  - 1  \\  \\  \frac{a}{5b}  =  \frac{25}{100}  \\  \frac{a}{5b}  =  \frac{1}{4}  \\ 4a = 5b \\ a =  \frac{5b}{4}  -  -  - 2 \\  \\ so \:  \:  \frac{a + y}{5}  \\  = (a + y) \times  \frac{1}{5}  \\  = ( \frac{5b}{4}  +  \frac{5x}{4} ) \times  \frac{1}{5}  \\  =  \frac{5b + 5x}{4}  \times  \frac{1}{5}  \\  =  \frac{5(b + x)}{4}  \times  \frac{1}{5}  \\  =  \frac{b + x}{4}  \\  \\ so \:  \:  \:  \frac{a + y}{5}  =  \frac{b + x}{4}
