Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to write in correct form :
We know how to divide fractions. If we can divide numerator by numerator, denominator by denominator, we just do it. In this example we can not do that.
So, we rewrite first fraction and multiply by reciprocal second ( numerator and denominator change place)
Now, multiply numerator by numerator, denominator by denominator :
I think C... I'm guessing cause my math is wrong
The answer is the option D because the formula is y upon x
Let's make a system of equations to solve for this:
n + q = 84
0.05n + 0.25q = 12.80
where n = nickels and q = quarters.
---
Solve for n in the first equation by subtracting q from both sides.
n = 84 - q
---
Plug n into the second equation.
0.05(84 - q) + 0.25q = 12.80
Distribute 0.05 inside the parentheses.
4.2 - 0.05q + 0.25q = 12.80
Combine like terms.
4.2 + 0.2q = 12.80
Subtract 4.2 from both sides.
0.2q = 8.6
Divide both sides by 0.2.
q = 43
---
Plug 43 for q in the first equation.
n + (43) = 84
Subtract 43 from both sides.
n = 41

There are 41 nickels and 43 quarters in the piggy bank. ✅
