Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:Given that the numerator of a given fraction is 4 less than its denominator.
Also given that 3 is subtracted from the numerator and 5 is added to the denominator, the fraction becomes one by fourth .
Let the fraction be
Since the numerator of a given fraction is 4 less than its denominator we have,
Numerator=Denominator-4
⇒ a=b-4
Since 3 is subtracted from the numerator and 5 is added to the denominator, the fraction becomes one by fourth we have
4(a-3)=1(b+5)
4a-12=b+5
4a-b=17
4(b-4)-b=17 ( ∵ a=b-4)
4b-16-b=17
3b=17+16
3b=33
⇒ b=11
Now put b=11 in a=b-4 we get
a=11-4
⇒ the fraction is a/b=7/11

The value of the (RIC) will increase from 4 to 5.75,that is,44%
There are 14 nickels and 7 dimes.
(You can check by multiplying 14 by 5 for nickels and 7 times 10 for dimes. This would add up to 1.35)
