Q=number of quarters
d=number of dimes

so the value of 1 quarter=0.25 and 1 dime=0.10 so therefor the total value would be
0.25q+0.1d=2.9

total number of coins=20
q+d=20

solve
we have
0.25q+0.1d=2.9 and
q+d=20
multiply the first equation by 10
2.5q+1d=29

so we have
q+d=20
2.5q+d=29

multiply first by -1 and add
-q-d=-20
<u>2.5q+d=29 +
</u>1.5q+0d=9
1.5q=9
multipliy both sides by 2
3q=18
divide by 3
q=6
subsitute
q+d=20
6+d=20
ubtract 6
d=14

14 dimes
6 quarters

A quantity with an initial value of 9100 grows continuously at a rate of 0.85% per hour. What is the value of the quantity after

ycow [4]

Answer:

$10,962,54$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a exponential growth is equal to

$y=a(1+r)^x$

where

a is the initial value

r is the rate of growth

x is the time in hours

y is the value of the quantity

we have

$a=9,100\\r=0.85\%=0.85/100=0.0085$

substitute

$y=9,100(1+0.0085)^x$

$y=9,100(1..0085)^x$

For x=22 hours

substitute

$y=9,100(1..0085)^{22} =10,962,54$

I think the Honda and Dodge have the same ratio. If you do the math, the ratio will come out to (12,1) or 12 for both types of cars.

Find the area of the rhombus

MAXImum [283]

<h3> Solution :-</h3>

Area of rhombus :-

$\bf \star \: \: \boxed{ \bf \dfrac{d_{1}d_{2}}{2} }$

$\sf \longrightarrow d_{1} = 4 \sqrt{3} + 4 \sqrt{3} = 8 \sqrt{3}$

$\sf \longrightarrow d_{2} = 4 + 4 = 8$

Area of rhombus :-

$: \implies \sf \dfrac{8 \sqrt{3} \times 8 }{2}$

$: \implies \sf 8 \sqrt{3} \times 4$

$: \implies \bf 32 \sqrt{3} \: {m}^{2}$
