Answer:

30 Nickels and 188 Pennies

Step-by-step explanation:

okay, so to set up the equation first, we have to assign each coin a variable, let's call them p and n:

P= number of pennies

N= number of nickels

the value of a penny is 1 cent, so 1P, and the value of a nickel is 5 cents, so 5N

The problem states that he has 218 coins, meaning that the total number of pennies and nickels adds up to 218:

P + N = 218

the total value of the coins is $3.38, so that would mean that 1P + 5N has to equal $3.38:

1P + 5N = 338

Okay, so now that we have our equations let's solve them using elimination:

we have to get a common coefficient between both equations, so let's multiply our first equation by 5:

P x 5 = 5P

N x 5 = 5N

218 x 5 = 1090

so, now we can solve by elimination:

5P + 5N = 1090

1P + 5N = 338

the N's cancel out:

4P = 752

divide both sides by 4:

P = 188

okay, so if theres a total of 218 coins, subtract 188 from 218:

218 - 188 = 30

so, there are 30 nickels and 188 pennies.

check our work:

5 x 30 = 150

1 × 188 = 188

150 + 188 = 338

338 = 338

I hope this helps! :)

sdas [7]

Answer: E) C(10, 2)C(8, 1)C(7, 1)C(6, 1)C(5, 1)C(4, 2)C(2, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the combinations: Number of ways to choose r things out of n things = C(n,r)

Given word: "georgianna"

It is a sequence of 10 letters with 2 a's , 2 g's , 2 n's , and one of each e, o,r, i.

If we think 10 blank spaces, then in a sequence we need 2 spaces for each of g.

Number of ways = C(10,2)

Similarly,

1 space for 'e' → C(8,1)

1 space for 'o' → C(7,1)

1 space for 'r' → C(6,1)

1 space for 'i' → C(5,1)

1 space for 'a' → C(4,2)

1 space for 'n' → C(2,2)

Required number of different sequences  = C(10,2) ×C(8,1)× C(7,1)× C(6,1)×C(5,1)×C(2,2).

Hence, the correct option is E) C(10, 2)C(8, 1)C(7, 1)C(6, 1)C(5, 1)C(4, 2)C(2, 2)
