Answer:

There are 6 dimes and 9 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the number of dimes and the number of quarters by d and q.

Then d + q = 15, or q = 15 - d.

Also, ($0.25)q + ($0.10)d = $2.85, or 5q + 2d = 57.

Substituding 15 - d for q, we get 5(15 - d) + 2d = 57, or

75 - 5d + 2d = 57, or

75 - 3d = 57, or

3d = 18.  Thus, there are 6 dimes.  Since q = 15 - d, q = 15 - 6 = 9.

There are 6 dimes and 9 quarters.

The number A of tablet computers sold (in millions) can be modeled by the function A=4.5t2+43.5t+17 , where t represents the num
Rina8888 [55]
The problem indicates that A represents the number of tablet computers sold in millions. So, if 65 million were sold, we must substitute A = 65 to the equation. Then, we find for t.

65 = 4.5t² +43.5t + 17
Solving for t using a calculator,
t = 1 and -10.67

Let's take the positive root. So, t=1.
That means the year would be 1 year after 2010. <em>Therefore, the answer is 2011.</em>
