Answer:
20 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The shadow of the bird house is 14/3.5 = 4 times the length of your friend's shadow. Consequently, we expect the height of the bird house to be 4 times the height of your friend:
4(5 ft) = 20 ft
The height of the bird house is 20 ft.
Number of pennies:P
Number of nickels:N
Number of dollar bills:D
P=N+12
N=D+5
1P+5N+100D=996
^given
Therefore
P=(D+5)+12
P=D+17
Plug back into main equation
(D+17)+5(D+5)+100D=996
Combine like terms
106D+42=996
106D=954
D=954/106=9
9 Dollar bills
N=D+5
N=(9)+5=14
14 Nickels
P=N+12
P=(14)+12=26
26 Pennies
26*1+14*5+9*100=996
Final answer:
9 Dollars
14 Nickels
26 Pennies
