I may be wrong but I hope I am not. But one expression is 16 × .15 and another is 16 × 15/100. When multiplying percentages you have to move the decimal that is invisbly behind the last number, two places to the left. The answer you get is the percentage of the price. You would then take the answer and add it to the price. The answer to the multiplication problem is 2.40. You then add the 2.40 to the $16 and that's the new price.

Brianna has x nickels and y pennies. She has no less than 20 coins worth no more
Bond [772]

Answer:

y \ge 20 - x

y \le 80 -5x

(x,y) = (15,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Nickels = x

Pennies = y

Amount = \$0.80 maximum

Coins = 20 minimum

Required

Solve graphically

First, we need to determine the inequalities of the system.

For number of coins, we have:

x\ +\ y\ge 20 because the number of coins is not less than 20

For the worth of coins, we have:

0.05x\ +\ 0.01y\ \le0.80 because the worth of coins is not more than 0.80

So, we have the following equations:

x\ +\ y\ge 20

0.05x\ +\ 0.01y\ \le0.80

Make y the subject in both cases:

y \ge 20 - x

0.01y \le 0.80 - 0.05x

Divide through by 0.01

\frac{0.01y}{0.01} \le \frac{0.80}{0.01} -\frac{ 0.05x}{0.01}

y \le \frac{0.80}{0.01} -\frac{ 0.05x}{0.01}

y \le 80 -5x

The resulting inequalities are:

y \ge 20 - x

y \le 80 -5x

The two inequalities are plotted on the graph as shown in the attachment.

y \ge 20 - x --- Blue

y \ge 80 -5x --- Green

Point A on the attachment are possible solutions

At A:

(x,y) = (15,5)

to make 1 batch of lavender paint the ratio of cups of pink paint to cups of blue paint is 6 to 5. find two more raios of cups o
marshall27 [118]
Your ratio is 6:5

This means that it is 6/5.

You have to find a common number to either divide or multiply that can work for both the numerator and denominator.

6/5 doesn't have any common number to divide without getting a remainder

But we can multiply by a common number such as 2

6×2 = 12
5×2 = 10

= 12/10. ☆= the ratio is 12 : 10

or even by 3, =the ratio 18:15
