Answer:

The number of nickels is 45 and the number of dimes is 72.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> number of nickels

y ----> number of dimes

Remember that

1\ nickel=\$0.05

1\ dime=\$0.10

so

0.05x+0.10y=9.45 ------> equation A

0.05x+0.10(2y)=16.65

0.05x+0.20y=16.65 ------> equation B

<em>Solve the system by substitution</em>

we have

0.05x+0.10y=9.45 ------> equation A

0.05x+0.20y=16.65 ------> equation B

Multiply both equations by 100 both sides

5x+10y=945 ---->5x=945-10y --> equation C

5x+20y=1,665 ----> equation D

substitute equation C in equation D

(945-10y)+20y=1,665

solve for y

945+10y=1,665

10y=1,665-945

10y=720

y=72\ dimes

Find the value of x

5x=945-10y

5x=945-10(72)

5x=225

x=45\ nickels

<em>Alternative Method</em>

Solve the system by graphing

Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

the solution is the point (45,72)

therefore

The number of nickels is 45 and the number of dimes is 72.

A firm has net working capital of $2,300 and current assets of $3,500. what is the current ratio?
Ulleksa [173]

Based on the net working capital and the current assets, the current ratio of the firm is 2.92

<h3>What is the firm's current ratio?</h3>

First, find the current liabilities:

= Current assets - Net working capital

= 3,500 - 2,300

= $1,200

The current ratio is:

= Current assets / Current liabilties

= 3,500 / 1,200

= 2.92

Vedmedyk [2.9K]
Probability of finding no defective bulb
=95/100*94/99....86/91
=95!/(85!) / (100!/90!)
= 110983/190120
=>
Probability of finding at least one defective bulb
=1-110983/190120
= 79137/190120
= 0.41625 (to 5 decimal places)

Which is bigger 20% of 400 or 1//4 f 360
nekit [7.7K]
20% =20/100=2/10
20% of 400 =(2/10)*400 =80
1/4 of 360= (1/4)*360 =90
90>80, so 1/4 of 360 is bigger than 20% of 400
