Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
Quarters= 25(x)
Nickels =5(x+16)
25x+5(x+16)=590 (no decimal)
If you solve for x, you’ll get the number of quarters.
Hello there, my fellow human being!
So, the chicken costs $8 and the duck costs $5, here's why.
Let's say x is the cost of a chicken while y is the cost of a duck.
We can make two linear equations using the information above.
Last month, he sold 50 chickens and 30 ducks for $550: 50x + 30y= 550
This month, he sold 44 chicken and 36 ducks for $532: 44x + 36y = 532
50x/10 + 30y/10 = 440/10
44x/4 + 36y/4 = 532/4
5x + 3y = 44
11x + 9y = 133
So, now that we have our answer simplified, we have to use elimination to solve this system of equations. But, first we need to make sure that at least one of our variables is able to be canceled out.
Let's multiply this equation by -3.
(5x + 3y = 44) * -3.
-15x-9y=-165.
11x + 9y = 133
-15x - 9y = -165
______________
-4x/4 = -32/4
x = 8
11x + 9y = 133
11(8) + 9y = 133
88 + 9y = 133
-88 -88
________________
9y/9 = 45/9
y = 5.

Step-by-step explanation:
21 chaperones are needed for 420 students.
Step-by-step explanation:
No. of juniors = 148
No. of seniors = 272
Total = 148+272 = 420 students
3 chaperones = 60 students
1 chaperone = 
Ratio of chaperon to students = 1:20
Let,
x be the number of chaperons for 420 students.
Ration of chaperones to students = x:420
Using proportion
Ratio of chaperones to students :: Ratio of chaperons to students
Product of mean = Product of extreme
Dividing both sides by 20
21 chaperones are needed for 420 students.

First we identify the percent's as decimals
1%=0.01 64%=0.64
Then we multiply our decimals by 300
0.01 x 300 = 3 0.64 x 300 = 192
If you notice, 64 x 3 is equal to 192
64 x 3 = 192
So the answers are 3 and 192
(Hope this helps!)
