Answer:
Let x represents the Sara eat pancake and y represents the Phil eat the pancake.
As per the statement:
Phil ate three less than twice as many pancakes as Sara.
"Twice as many pancake as Sara" means 2x
"three less than twice as many pancakes as Sara" means 2x -3
⇒ .....[1]
It is also given that together they combined to eat 15 pancakes.
⇒ .....[2]
Substitute equation [1] into [2] we get;
Combine like terms;
3x-3 =15
Add 3 to both sides we get;
3x = 18
Divide both sides by 3 we get;
x = 6
Substitute the value of x in [1] we get;
y = 2(6)-3 = 12-3 =9
y = 9
Therefore, the pancakes did each eat are;
Sara eat pancake = 6 and Phil eat pancake = 9
Answer:
35 quarters
Step-by-step explanation:
This situation has two unknowns - the total number of dimes and the total number of quarters. Because we have two unknowns, we will write a system of equations with two equations using the two unknowns.
is an equation representing the total number of coins
is an equation representing the total value in money based on the number of coin. 0.10 and 0.25 come from the value of a dime and quarter individually.
We write the first equation in terms of q by subtracting it across the equal sign to get . We now substitute this for d in the second equation.
After simplifying, we subtract 6 across and divide by the coefficient of q.
We now know of the 60 coins that 35 are quarters. To find the total value of the quarters, we multiply 35 by 0.25 and find 8.75.
