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

Answer:

A function

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is needed, but with the statement it can be determined that this situation would be, if a relationship or function, or given the case of both or neither.

Let's first define what a relationship is, define that a single input can have more than one output, applied to the statement would be that if you apply the same force in two different situations, the amount of candy that comes out may be different.

On the contrary, in a function for each input there is an output, a possible result, which is what they tell us in the statement.

Therefore this situation is represented by a function.

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

First answer is 1200

Second answer is 900 for each new employee

Step-by-step explanation:

First answer:

2200+1300+800+940+560+x = 7000

5800+x = 7000 subtract 5800 from both sides and you get your answer

x = 1200

Second answer:

x = 900.  Each of the two employees made 900 a month or 1800 a month for both of them.

To find the average we take the total salaries and divide by the number of people to find the average salary.  In this case, we know the average and we know all of the salaries, but two.  We can figure this out.

(7000 + 2x)/8 = 1100  multiple both sides by 8 to clear the fraction/

7000 +2x = 8800  Subtract both sides by 7000

2x = 1800  Divide both sides by 2

x = 900
