Answer: 19 quarters; 7 nickels

========================================

Work Shown:

q = number of quarters

n = number of nickels

q+n = 26 because we have 26 coins that are quarters or nickels. Solve for q to get q = 26-n (subtract n from both sides). This will be used in the second equation to replace every copy of 'q' with '26-n'

25*q is the total value of all the quarters, and this value is in cents. Similarly, 5n is the total value of all the nickels (value in cents). The total value of all the coins is 25q+5n which is equal to 510 (since 510 cents = $5.10)

25q+5n = 510

25(q)+5n = 510

25(26-n)+5n = 510 .... replace q with 26-n (see above)

25(26)-25(n)+5n = 510 ... distribute

650-25n+5n = 510

650-20n = 510

650-20n-650 = 510-650 ... subtract 650 from both sides

-20n = -140

-20n/(-20) = -140/(-20) ... divide both sides by -20

n = 7

There are 7 nickels

Use this to find q

q = 26-n

q = 26-7 .... replace n with 7

q = 19

and there are 19 quarters

.2 How many millilitres of chutney are needed?<br>​
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In this scenario, You've asked about the Chutney (Sauce/Raita).

<em>Ok, So let's suppose you are making a "Chutney"</em>

  1. The first you need is the right amount of ingredients.
  2. Their quantity and they must be fresh "<em>To make every effort of yours worth it!</em>"
  3. Add it into a bowl or a dish that you have at the time (Or a big one to be on the safe side)
  4. At the end mix the ingredients well, So that they don't spoil taste of the one who is taking it.

The amount of milliliters (Weight measurement) depends upon the amount of usage/intake that one is taking.

It could be a few hundred (gms. or some Kg's).

That totally depends up on your choice

Julie cashed a paycheck and repaired her brother $10 that she borrowed from him. She then spent $30 on fuel for her car and half
pochemuha
Remark
She starts out with x
She spends 10 dollars paying back her brother (that's - 10)
She spends 30 dollars on fuel (that - 30)
She spends 1/2 what's left on a tent ( that's 1/2 (x - 10 - 30) )
She then spent 29.45  on running shoes. 1/2 (x - 10 - 30) + 29.45 is her expenditures.

After all that she has 17.75 left. 

Equation
x - 10 - 30 - 1/2(x - 10 - 30) - 29.45 = 17.75   

Solve
Begin by adding 29.95 to both sides. 
x - 10 - 30 - 1/2(x - 10 - 30)  = 17.75 + 29.45 
x -10 - 30 - 1/2(x - 10 - 30)  = 47.20  Add the like terms on the left.
x - 40 - 1/2(x - 40) = 47.20 Add 40 to both sides. Don't go inside the brackets.
x - 1/2x + 1/2 (40) = 87.20
1/2 x + 20 = 87.20                        Subtract 20 from both sides.
1/2 x = 67.20                                Multiply by 2
x = 134.40

Milene é doceira e a seguir está uma representação dos bombons que ela fez no dia. Do total dos bombons que fez 2/3 são de coco.
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

16 bombons de coco

Step-by-step explanation:

A partir da pergunta, somos instruídos a fingir que o número total de bombons (chocolate) que ela fez = 24 bombons

Do total de chocolates que ele fez, 2/3 são de coco.

Portanto, a quantidade que representa os doces de coco é representada como:

2/3 × 24

= 16

Portanto, a quantidade de bombons de coco = 16
