Answer: a) An = An-1 + An-2

b) 55ways

Step-by-step explanation:

a) a nickel is 5 cents and a dime is 10cent so a multiple of 5 cents is the possible way to pay the tolls in both choices.

Let An represents the number of possible ways the driver can pay a toll of 5n cents, so that

An = 5n cents

Case 1: Using a nickel for payment which is 5 cents, the number of ways given as;

An-1 = 5( n-1)

Case 2: using a dime which is two 5 cents, the number of ways is given as;

An-2 = 5(n-2)

Summing up the number of ways, we have

An = An-1 + An-2

From the relation,

If n= 0, Ao= 1

n =1, A1= 1

b) 45 cents paid in multiples of 5cents will give us 9 ways(A9)

From the relation, we have that

Ao = 1

A1 = 1

An =An-1 + An-2

Ao = 1

A1 = 1

A2 = A1+Ao = 1+1= 2

A3 = A2 + A1 = 3

A4 = A3+A2=5

A5=A4+A3=8

A6=A5+A4=13

A7 =A6+A5 = 21

A8= A7+A6= 34

A9= A8+A7= 55

So there are 55ways to pay 45cents.

maria [59]

3 wholes.

If you have a pie and you cut it into 3 equal slices, you have 3/3 because the pie is in 3s but you have the whole thing.

Now imagine buying two more pies and doing the same thing.

You have 9 slices, but only 3 pies.

3 wholes.
