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.

Answer:

If there are 5000 bacteria in a colony right now, there will be  5000x2, or 10000 bacteria in the colony in 37 minutes.

If there are 10000 bacteria in the colony in 37 minutes, there will be 20000 bacteria in the colony in 74 minutes, as the bacteria doubles every 34 minutes.
