Answer:

  • 25 dimes
  • 56 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent the number of dimes. Then 81-d is the number of nickels and the total value in cents is ...

  10d +5(81-d) = 530

  5d +405 = 530 . . . eliminate parentheses

  d +81 = 106 . . . . . divide by 5

  d = 25 . . . . . . . . . subtract 81; number of dimes

  81 -d = 81 -25 = 56 . . . . . number of nickels

There are 25 dimes and 56 nickels in the box.

<em>Comment on the method of solution</em>

It usually works well to let the variable represent the amount of the highest-value contributor (dimes). This keeps the numbers positive as the solution progresses.

Create an item with a selling price over $100 a discount of 25% and tax is 9%
Lana71 [14]

First, convert the 25% to a real mathematical number. For percents, this is always done by dividing the 25% by 100%, or 25% / 100% = 0.250.

Second, find out what 25% of $100 is. This is the amount of the sale discount. This is always found by mulitplying 0.250 by the item's cost $100, like this:

0.250 x $100 = $25.00.

So for this sale, you'll save $25.00 on this item.

This means, the cost of the item to you is

$100 - $25.00 = $75.00.

Alternatively, you can think about it this way. The item is 25% off. This means you'll pay 75.000% of the total cost (100% - 25% = 75.000%).

Now what's 75.000% of the total cost?

0.750 x $100 = $75.00.

Just like the result above, the sale price on the item is $75.00.

Hope this helps you on your assignment! :)

On Naomi's cell phone plan, the amount she pays each month for international text messages is proportional to the number of inte
egoroff_w [7]

A. Constant of proportionality in this proportional relationship is; k=5

B. Equation to represent this proportional relationship is : c=t/k

Step-by-step explanation:

A.Given that : the amount she pays each month for international text messages is proportional to the number of international texts she sends, then

$3.20 k = 16  ---------where k is the constant of proportionality

k= 16/3.20 =5

k=5

B. Let c be the cost of sending the texts per month and t be the number of texts sent per month , so

c=t/k

c=t/5 ---------- is the proportionality relationship.

For t=16 , c= 16/5 =$3.20
