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.

Lashonda is going to rent a truck for one day. There are two companies she can choose from, and they have the following prices.C
musickatia [10]
Answer:
30 < m
The solution would be (30, ∞)

Explanation:
For company A:
The charge is: $96 for any number of mileage ..............> I
For company B:
The charge is $75 fixed and 0.7 for each mileage m. This means that the charge is: 75 + 0.7m .................> II

We want the charge of company A to be less than the charge of company B. This means that we want I to be less than II.
Therefore,
96 < 75 + 0.7m
96 - 75 < 0.7m
21 < 0.7m
21/0.7 < m
30 < m

This means that for any mileage greater than 30, the charge of company A will be less than the charge of company B

Hope this helps :)
