Answer:

y=7

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two numbers,  

x

,

y

. We know two things about them:

2

x

+

y

=

25

3

x

−

y

=

20

Let's add these two equations together which will cancel the  

y

:

5

x

+

0

y

=

45

x

=

45

5

=

9

We can now substitute in the  

x

value into one of the original equations (I'll do both) to get to  

y

:

2

x

+

y

=

25

2

(

9

)

+

y

=

25

18

+

y

=

25

y

=

7

3

x

−

y

=

20

3

(

9

)

−

y

=

20

27

−

y

=

20

So, we need to figure out how much times the body size of the flea it can jump. First, we need to figure out the size of the flea: <em>2^-4=0.0625</em>

Now that we have the size of the flea, we need to figure out how high it can jump: <em>2^3=8</em>

After we figure out the size of the flea, we need to divide 8 by .0625 because it is inverse operations to multiplication: <em>8/.0625=128</em>

Answer: The flea can jump 128 times higher than it's body size.

10 quarters 17 dimes 40 nickels 15 pennies answer
Oliga [24]

If the given quantities are 10 quarters 17 dimes 40 nickels 15 pennies then the total money would be 6.35 dollars.

<h3>What is the fundamental principle of multiplication?</h3>

If an event can occur in m different ways and if following it, a second event can occur in n different ways, then the two events in succession can occur in m × n different ways.

Quarters are worth .25 of a dollar

10 x .25 = 2.5

Dimes are worth .10 of a dollar

17 x .10 = 1.7

Nickels are worth .05 of a dollar

40 x .05 = 2

Pennies are worth .01 of a dollar

15 x .01 =  0.15

Add this together

2.5 + 1.7 + 2 + 0.15

= 6.35
