Answer:
Each person get = 20 cents
Step-by-step explanation:
Given - Maya and three friends have three quarters and one nickel to spend.
To find - If Maya and her friends share the money equally how much will each person get ?
Proof -
We know that
1 nickel = 5 cents
1 quarter = 25 cents
As they spent, 3 quarters and one nickel
So,
Total money spent = 3(25) + 5 = 75 + 5 = 80 cents
⇒Total money spent = 80 cents
Now,
Total people = 4 (Maya and three friends )
Now,
Given that, They share the money equally
So,
Each person get =
= 20 cents
Using a system of equations, it is found that the correct option is:
A) 1389x+1660y=787x+1121y.
<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>
A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.
In this problem, considering the amounts in each olympics(1389 men and 787 women participated on the 19th, 1660 men and 1121 women in the 22th), the system is:
A) 1389x+1660y=787x+1121y.
