Answer: Dimes= 20, Nickels= 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are looking for the amount of coins, we can use system of equations to solve for the amount of coins.

Equation 1:

0.1x+0.05y=2.75

This equation comes from the total cost. x stands for dimes and y stands for nickels. 0.1 is the worth of a dime and 0.05 is the worth of a nickel.

Equation 2:

x=2y-10

This equation comes from 10 less than twice the number of nickels.

We can use substitution to find x and y.

0.1(2y-10)+0.05y=2.75

0.2y-1+0.05y=2.75

0.25y-1=2.75

0.25y=3.75

y=15

There are 15 nickels.

Now that we have y, we can plug it back into the equation to find x.

x=2(15)-10

x=30-10

x=20

There are 20 dimes.

Use the following information for problems 1 – 3. Suppose you sign a contract for an annual salary of $50,000 with a guaranteed
erik [133]

Initial salary =  $50,000 .

Rate of raise = 5% each year.

Therefore, each next year salary would be 105% that is 1.05 times.

5% of 50,000 = 0.05 × 50000 = 2500.

Therefore raise is $2500 each year.

According to geometric sequence first term 50000 and common ratio 1.05.

Applying geometric sequence formula

a_n = ar^{n-1}

1) a_n = 50000(1.05)^{n-1}

2) In order to find salary in 5 years we need to plug n=5, we get

a_5 = 50000(1.05)^{5-1}= 50000(1.05)^4

= 50000(1.21550625)

<h3>=$60775.3125.</h3>

3) In order to find the total salary in 10 years we need to apply sum of 10 terms formula of a geometric sequence.

S_n = \frac{a(1-r^n}{1-r}

Plugging n=10, a = 50000 and r= 1.05.

S_10 = \frac{50000(1-(1.05)^{10}}{1-1.05}

S_10 = \frac{50000(0.050)^{10}}{0.05}

= 628894.62678.

<h3>Therefore , you will have earned $ 628894.62678 in total salary by the end of your 10th year.</h3>

Ling worked three more hours on Tuesday than she did on Monday. On Wednesday, she worked one hour more than twice the number of
Nina [5.8K]

Let x be the number of hours ling work on monday.

We know that she worked three more hours on tuesday that in monday, this can be express as :

 x+3

We also know that in wednesday she worked on more hour than twice the number on mondays, this can be expressed as:

2x+1

The total number of hours she worked this three days in two more than five the number of hours she worked on monday, this can be express as :

5x+2\\

Now , once we have all the expressions we add the expressions of the days and equate them to the total

x+(x+3)+(2x+1)=5x+2

Now we solve the equation

x+(x+3)+(2x+1)=5x+2\\x+x+3+2x+1=5x+2\\4x+4=5x+2\\5x-4x=4-2\\x=2

Therefore , she worked 2 hours on monday.
