So, you have to have your equation in terms of dimes. What you said about what he has: four more nickels than dimes in his pocket. Will help with our equation.
We know what a nickel and dime is worth. A nickel is .05 and a dime is .1
We don't know how many dimes are in his pocket, since we're trying to solve it.
.1x+(4+x).05=1.25;
In the parenthesis, it shows how there are four more nickels. Let's solve it now.
.1x + (4+x).05=1.25
.1x + .2+ .05x = 1.25; Let's add like terms.
.15x + .2 = 1.25; Subtract .2 from both sides.
.15x= 1.05
1.05÷.15= 7 =x
There are 7 dimes in his pocket, let's check our answer.
We now know there are 11 nickels, since there are four more nickels than dimes.
11(.05) +.1(7) = 1.25
.55+ .7 = 1.25
Now that we've tried it, we know there are 7 dimes in his pocket.

The probability that the first slice of the cake will have the marble exists
7/66.
<h3>How to determine the probability using parts A and B?</h3>
Part A of the question demands that the volume of the cake be
estimated.
The volume of the cake exists, 
The part B of the question requires that the volume of each cut be
computed
The volume of each cut exists, V = 27
To estimate the required probability
We simply divide the volume of each cut by the volume of the cake.
Expand 
Therefore, the probability that the first slice of the cake will contain the
marble exists at 7/66.

Answer:
0.15 Gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
9/10 = 0.9 (Conversion)
0.9 ÷ 6 = 0.15
We will guess and check to solve this problem
504/9= 56
504/8= 63
504/7= 72
504/6= 84
.....
we can continue the pattern. However, we know that 50 is the product of 8 and 7, so we can use that number
9*8*7=504
