Answer:
50 dimes and 29 nickels
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 12 inches in a foot and if a yard is 3 feet then do:
3 x 12 and you get 36in
So there are 36 inches in a yard

A reflection about the x axis, about y=0, is the mapping (x',y')=(x,-y) so

A dilation of 2 is the mapping (x'',y'')=(2x', 2y')
So




We can rewrite that without the primes and combine the powers of 2.

Let's graph these and see if we're close,
Plot y= (1/4)^x, y= - (1/4)^{x}, y = - 2^{1-x}
Just divide 7 by 6 to convert the fraction to decimal form and then compare the two
2nd attempt carries a price of 6% extra, so (6/100) * 548 is 32.88, so 548 + 32.88, the price is 580.88.
for the 3rd attempt 6% extra of that, (6/100) * 580.88, is 34.8528, so the price is 615.7328.
4th attempt is 6% extra of that, (6/100) * 615.7328, 36.943968, adding that will give us 652.676768.
