Answer:
He received 10 dimes and 15 quarters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Dimes = $0.10
Quarters = $0.25
Variable x = dimes
Variable y = quarters
Create a pair of linear equations:
0.10x + 0.25y = 4.75
x + y = 25
Isolate any variable, using an equation of your choice:
x + y = 25
x = 25 - y
Plug in this new value of x into the other equation:
0.10(25 - y) + 0.25y = 4.75
Use the distributive property:
2.5 - 0.10y + 0.25y = 4.75
Combine like terms:
2.5 + 0.15y = 4.75
Isolate variable y:
0.15y = 2.25
y = 15
Plug in the value of y into any equation:
x + y = 25
x + 15 = 25
Isolate variable x:
x = 10
-12 is an integer because all fractions are rational numbers.
Answer:
27 7/9%
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the selling price and subtract the cost
920 -720 = 200
Divide it by the cost
200/720
.27777777
Change to percent form
27.777777%
27 7/9%
Answer:
-3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
First, make the mixed fraction into an improper fraction:
-1 2/5 = -(5/5 + 2/5) = -(7/5)
Note that two negatives = one positive:
- (-4/5) = + 4/5
Combine the terms. Subtract the numerators:
-(7/5) + (4/5) = (-7 + 4)/5 = -3/5
-3/5 is your answer.

Answer: 64
Step-by-step explanation:
By definition, a perfect square is the square of a whole number.
The information given in the problem that you must keep on mind is:
- The number has two digits.
- The number is a perfect square ( Is obtained by squaring a whole number).
- The sum of its two digits is 10.
The number 64 is formed by the digit 6 and the digit 4. The sum of both digits is:
The number 64 can be written as:
Then, it is perfect square.
