Answer:

11 pennies

33 nickels

7 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of pennies, then the number of nickels is 3x.

There are 51 coins in total, so the number of quarters is 51 - x - 3x = 51 - 4x.

Amounts:

in pennis - x cents;
in nickels - 5(3x) = 15x cents;
in quarters - 25(51 - 4x) cents.

Tota amount = $3.51 = 351 cents.

Hence,

$x+15x+25(51-4x)=351\\ \\x+15x+1,275-100x=351\\ \\x+15x-100x=351-1,275\\ \\-84x=-924\\ \\84x=924\\ \\ x=11$

11 pennies

33 nickels

7 quarters

choli [55]

Answer:

Alicia is the golfer who has had the lowest number of strokes per hole

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The unit rate of the number of strokes per hole is equal to divide the number of strokes by the number of holes

Let

x ----> the number of strokes

y ----> the number of holes

we have

Roy

$x=42\ strokes\\y=9\ holes$

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{42}{9}=4.67\ strokes\ per\ hole$

Alicia

$x=79\ strokes\\y=18\ holes$

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{79}{18}=4.39\ strokes\ per\ hole$

Rickie

$x=123\ strokes\\y=27\ holes$

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{123}{27}=4.56\ strokes\ per\ hole$

Compare

4.39 < 4.56 < 4.67

therefore

Alicia is the golfer who has had the lowest number of strokes per hole
