Answer:

8 nickels and 9 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

If all were dimes, the value would be $1.70. It is $0.40 less than that. Changing a dime for a nickel reduces the value by $0.05, so there must have been $0.40/$0.05 = 8 such changes.

There are 8 nickels and 9 dimes.

_____

<em>Check</em>

8 · 0.05 + 9 · 0.10 = 0.40 + 0.90 = 1.30 . . . the answer checks OK

Which postulate or theorem can be used to

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

AA Similarity Postulate

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

step 1

Verify the proportion of the corresponding sides

$\frac{PS}{PQ}=\frac{PT}{PR}$

substitute

$\frac{45}{20}=\frac{36}{16}$

$2.25=2.25$ ----> is true

Corresponding sides are proportional

Triangle PQR is similar to Triangle PST

That means

Corresponding angles must be congruent

side QR is parallel side ST

and

$m\angle PQR=m\angle PST$ ----> by corresponding angles

$m\angle PRQ=m\angle PTS$ --> by corresponding angles

PQR is similar to PST by AA Similarity Postulate
