Answer: there are 70 dimes and 40 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

A dime is 10 cents

A nickel is 5 cents

A quarter is 25 cents

Let x represent the number of dimes at the bottom.

Let y represent the number of quarters at the bottom.

The city park employee collected 1,850 cents in nickels, dimes, and quarters at the bottom of a wishing well. If there were 30 nickels, it means that

10x + 25y + 30 × 5 = 1850

10x + 25y = 1850 - 150

10x + 25y = 1700- - - - - - - - -1

There is a combined total of 110 dimes and quarters. It means that

x + y = 110

Substituting x = 110 - y into equation 1, it becomes

10(110 - y) + 25y = 1700

1100 - 10y + 25y = 1700

1100 + 15y = 1700

15y = 1700 - 1100

15y = 600

y = 600/15

y = 40

x = 110 - y = 110 - 40

x = 70

kennan has 7 sheets of paper. he uses 2 1/2 sheets to make posters. he cuts the remaining paper in 6 equal rectangles to make ca
skelet666 [1.2K]
Remaining paper
7 - 2 1/2 = 4 1/2

Equivalent Fraction:
4 1/2 = 9/2 = 18/4

if each piece is 1/4 of the sheets, 
18/4 ÷ 1/4 = 18/4 x 4/1 = 18

I am slightly not too sure what the remaining papers is cut into 6 equal rectangle will imply in this question. But looking at the answer, 18, then it is possible that he cuts 3 triangles out from each rectangle (which he will still get 18) which makes the answer possible.

A merchant selling sunglasses can place 8 large boxes or 10 small boxes into a carton for shipping. In one shipment he sent a to
exis [7]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

64 large boxes and 60 small boxes.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Here we must use the concept of multiples. A multiple of a number result of the multiplication of that number by an integer. For instance, 2, 4, 6, 8 are multiples of 2. The following chart shows our statement:

\begin{array}{cccccccccc}Number\,of\,boxes & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9\\Large & 8 & 16 & 24 & 32 & 40 & 48 & 56 & 64 & 72\\Small & 10 & 20 & 30 & 40 & 50 & 60 & 70 & 80 & 90\end{array}

So we need to choose the number of small and large boxes such that the sum is 124 boxes of sunglasses and the number of large boxes is greater than the number of small boxes. From the table, the correct solution is:

64 large boxes and 60 small boxes because 64 + 60 = 124 and 64 > 60
