Answer:
60 packets
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Unit cost of 20 packets
$5.49 / 20 =$0.2745
Unit cost of 60 packets :
$10.97 / 60 = $0.1828333
Unit cost of 90 packets :
$18.95 / 90 = $0.2105555

Answer:
12 dimes and 21 nickles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 3<em>n</em> + 1 denote the "number" in question. The claim is that
(3<em>n</em> + 1)² = 3<em>m</em> + 1
for some integer <em>m</em>.
Now,
(3<em>n</em> + 1)² = (3<em>n</em>)² + 2 (3<em>n</em>) + 1²
… = 9<em>n</em>² + 6<em>n</em> + 1
… = 3<em>n</em> (3<em>n</em> + 2) + 1
… = 3<em>m</em> + 1
where we take <em>m</em> = <em>n</em> (3<em>n</em> + 2).
