Let x be the number of dimes

and y be the number of quarters

Total number of coins = 12

So number of dimes + number of quarters = total number of coins

x + y = 12 ---------> equation 1

We know, 1 Quarter = 25 cents, 1 Dime = 10 cents, total cents = 196

y quarters = 25y cents , x dimes = 10x cents

x dimes + y quarters = 195 cents

10x + 25y = 195 -----------> equation 2

Now solve both equations

x + y =12, we solve for y by subtracting x on both sides

y = 12-x

Now substitute y in second equation

10x + 25(12-x) = 195

10x + 300 -25x = 195 (combine like terms)

-15x + 300 = 195 (subtract 300 on both sides)

-15x = -105 ( divide by -15)

x=7

y= 12-x

y=12-7 = 5

The number of dimes = 7

Number of quarters = 5

If $400 is invested at the rate of 6% for one year, what will be the total value of the investment (the amount)?
viva [34]
Hmm... Let's see..

Alrighty: $400= 100% (the whole amount of money). 1% of that money= 400/100. If $400 invests once in one year, that is... 424 dollars. 

Anyone out there who is looking for monthly payment, you invest 400 dollars with interest, the answer is 4934.22

Hope that helps ya!

The formula for the volume of a sphere is mc012-1.jpg. What is the formula solved for r?
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer: The formula to calculate the radius of a sphere if we know the volume is: Cubic root [3V/(4∏)].


Solution:

The formula for the volume (V) of a sphere is:

V=(4∏/3) r^3

Solving for r: Multiplying both sides of the equation by 3/(4∏):

3/(4∏) V = 3/(4∏) [(4∏/3) r^3]

3V/(4∏) = r^3

Cubic root both sides of the equation (raising to the power 1/3):

Cubic root [3V/(4∏)] =Cubic root (r^3)

Cubic root [3V/(4∏)] = r

r = Cubic root [3V/(4∏)]
