Answer:Herbert

Let n=the number of nickels and q=the number of quarters.

From the problem statement, we know two things:

The total number of coins is 57; This means that n+q=57

The total value of the coins is $8.85; Since each nickel is worth .05 and each quarter is worth .25, this means that .05n+.25q=8.85

We now have two equations with two unknowns.

We can solve for n in the first equation, n=57-q

Plugging this in for n in the second equation, we get .05(57-q)+.25q=8.85

Multiplying through and simplifying: .05*57-.05q+.25q=8.85

2.85 + .20q =8.85

.20q =8.85-2.85

.20q =6

q = 6/.20

q = 30 (This is the number of quarters)

Since n+q=57; n=57-q

n=57-30

n=27 (this is the number of nickels)

We can now double check the results by taking the number of quarters (30) times the value of each quarter (.25) and adding this to the the number of nickels (27) times the value of each nickel (.05):

30*.25+27*.05 = 7.50+1.35 = 8.85, which is the value stated in the problem.

Answer: 48.95

Step-by-step explanation:

so first I would add together the cost of the shirt and hat

31.59 +19.46 = 51. 05

then I would take away the 51.05 ( the total ) from $100

100 - 51.05 = $48.95

So she would get $48.95 for change

Which statement describes the translation of y = −one half (x − 2)2 − 2 from standard position?

kaheart [24]

A quadratic in vertex form can be represented as

$y = a(x-h)^{2} +k$

a represents reflection over the x-axis, and a vertical stretch or compress
- is reflection and a fraction (1/2) represents a compression.

-h represents a shift of that many units to the right (-2 shifts to the right two units)

k represents a shift up or down (-2 is shifting down 2 units_

Reflected over the x-axis, Vertically compressed by a factor of 1/2, shifted 2 units to the right, and shifted 2 units down
