Answer: jason has 10 dimes and 5 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The worth of a dime is 10 cents. Converting to dollars, it becomes

10/100 = $0.1

The worth of a quarter is 25 cents. Converting to dollars, it becomes

25/100 = $0.25

Let x represent the number of dimes that he has.

Let y represent the number of quarters that he has.

He has twice as many dimes as quarters. This means that

x = 2y

Jason has $2.25 worth of dimes and quarters. This means that

0.1x + 0.25y = 2.25 - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 2y into equation 1, it becomes

0.1 × 2y + 0.25y = 2.25

0.2y + 0.25y = 2.25

0.45y = 2.25

y = 2.25/0.45

y = 5

x = 2y = 2 × 5

x = 10

Here's the rest of the math questions 17 and 18
Lelu [443]

17. On average, Nestor works 7.5 hours of overtime in 4 weeks, so works an average of 7.5/4 = 1.875 overtime hours per week.

On average, each week Nestor gets paid for 7.5×5 + 2×1.875 = 41.25 hours, so is paid*

... (41.25 h)×($7.42/h) = $306.075

Each week Rita gets paid for 8×5 + 1.5×3 = 44.5 hours, so is paid

... (44.5 h)×($7.64/h) = $339.98

Their combined earning for a week are $306.075 + 339.98 = $646.055, so over a period of 12 weeks, they are paid a total of

... (12 weeks)×($646.055/week) = $7,752.66

18. Assuming Robin is paid time and a half for overtime, she was paid for

... 40 + 1.5×6 = 49 . . . hours

Then her hourly pay was ($392/week)/(49 hours/week) = $8.00 per hour

___

* The half-cent that shows up in Nestor's average weekly pay does not actually show up in Nestor's paycheck. Here, it is an artifact of dividing his monthly hour total by 4 to get a weekly average. Nestor's total pay for any given week is whole number of cents.
