Answer:

There are 18 nickels and 52 dimes in the jar

Step-by-step explanation:

First establish the variables of x and y

x = number of nickels.

y = numer of dimes.

Then develope the system of two linear equations with two variables.

The first equation can result from adding the number of nickels and dimes which result will be 70 coins then

x + y = 70

The second equation is related with the value, so if we multiply the number of nickels by its value and add it with the number of dimes by its value we will have $6.10 then we have:

0.05x + 0.1y = 6.10

Now we have the two equations and we are going to solve them by the elimination method

x + y = 70

0.05x + 0.1y = 6.10

We are going to eliminate x then we have to multiply by -0.05 in both sides of the first equation and we are going to leave the second equation the  same but in the first line to make easier the process.

0.05x + 0.1y = 6.10

(x+y)(-0.05) = 70*(-0.05)

0.05x + 0.1y = 6.10

<u>-0.05x -0.05y = -3.50</u>  (now do the operation)

0 +0.05y = 2.60

y = \frac{2.60}{0.05\\}

y = 52

We have 52 dimes.

Now replace in the initial equation the y value

x + 52 = 70

x = 70 - 52

x = 18

We have 18 nickels

Then in the jar we have 52 dimes and 18 nickels

The sections of a spinner are divided into five

Answer: 0.066, or a 6.6% Statistical Probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

When dealing with Statistical Probability, you are attempting to find the theoretical chance of an action occuring.

With the two actions described, one being a wheel with five set outcomes, and a dice with six set outcomes, you can find the probability of random numbers/outcomes by taking

\frac{1}{6} \\and\\\frac{1}{5}

1/6 being number cube, 1-2-3-4-5-6

and

1/5 being spinner. A-B-C-D-E

In the Event, (made up by actions), it is described that The Cube AND Spinner are rolled and spun at random.

Also, The description asks: what is the probability of landing on B and rolling an even number?

So, the 1/6 chance of the dice becomes 1/3, or .33 or 33%.

And, the 1/5 chance for the spinner stays the same, because it is a single unit. So, probability of landing on B is still 1/5, or .2 or 20%.

When two actions are present in an Event, you are to procedurally multiply the outcomes by the decimal percentage, fraction, or actual percentage, to find the chance of occurence.

In this scenario, I used .2 x .33 and got 0.066

Which, equals 6.6%

I found this by multiplying the decimal percentage by 100, to scale the chance on a 100/100 based scale. In this case, the multiplier on the numerator is .066 ... creating 6.6/100, or .066 or 6.6%

Hope this Helped!

PilotLPTM [1.2K]
Hello!

We have the probabilities 6/10 and 4/10. If someone where to have both we multiply our two probabilities.

6/10(4/10)=24/100=12=50=6/25

There is a 6/25 or 24% chance.

I hope this helps!
