113-47 = 66 female sheep

66-47 = 19

19 more female sheep than male sheep

The total number of sheep the farmer has is 113 sheep. Since 47 of them are males and you are solving for the number of female sheep, you can subtract 47 sheep from 113 sheep.

113 - 47 = 66

We have figured out that there are 113 total sheep, 47 male sheep, and 66 female sheep. The question is asking for how many more female sheep are there than male sheep, so subtract the number of male sheep from the number of female sheep.

female sheep - male sheep = answer

66 - 47 = 19

There are 19 more female sheep than there are male sheep.

A boy has twice as many nickels as he has pennies, and he has 5 less dimes than nickels. If he has $4.46 in all, how many coins

Zarrin [17]

N=2p
n/2=p

n-5=d

10d+5n+1p=446
subsitute n/2 for p
subsitute n-5 for d
10(n-5)+5n+n/2=446
times 2 both sides
20(n-5)+10n+n=892
expand
20n-100+10n+n=892
31n-100=892
add 100 both sides
31n=992
divide both sides by 31
n=32

subsitute back

n/2=p
32/2=16=p

n-5=d
32-5=d=27

27 dimes
16 pennies
32 nickles
