Set up
Let the dimes = d
Let the pennies = p
Let the quarters = q
Equations
You cannot mean that the pennies and dimes have equal numbers. That would mean that each had 21.5 members. Now could you mean that the dime and penny amount could be the same with 43 coins that total 4.00. Four dollars means that you need 40 dimes alone. It must mean that you are including quarters.
p + d + p = 43 (1)
p = d (2)
p +10d +25q = 451 (3)
Note how this last equation = was derived. You have to multiply the dimes by 10 and he quarters by 100 and the total by 100 to get the numbers all in pennies.
Put the results of 2 into 1.
2p + q = 43 (4)
You need to modify equation 3 as well.
p + 10p + 25q = 451
11p + 25q = 451 (5)
Solve the new equations
2p + q = 43 (4)
11p + 25q = 451 (5)
Multiply 4 by 25
25(2p- + q = 43)
50p + 25q = 1075 (6) Subtract (5) from (6)
<u>11p + 25q = 451
</u>39p = 624 Divide by 39
p = 624 / 39
p = 16
Since the pennies and dimes are equal there are 16 dimes
p + d + q = 43
16 + 16 + q = 43
32 + q = 43
q = 11
Check
16 + 10*16 + 11*25 = ?
16 + 160 + 275 = ?
451 = ?
Nice problem. Thanks for posting.
Answer:
5.83 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The card is a rectangular shaped object, drawing a diagonal from one corner to the other, divides the rectangle into two right angled triangles with the diagonals as the hypothenuse.
Using Pythagoras theorem.
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
Given;
Side a = 3
Side b = 5
Substituting the given values;
c^2 = 3^2 + 5^2
c = √(9+25)
c = √34
c = 5.83 inches
Tan x=opposite/adjacent
cot x=adjacent/opposite
so you need to inverse the fraction
tan x=.78 as a fraction is 78/100
-> inversed= 100/78=1.28=cot x
so it is the second option
Answer:
D. The McCarter's must make more than 10 visits to the pool for the pass to be a better deal.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, I chose the option that seemed most likely. Once I chose D, I plugged in the answer to see if it actually worked.
10 x 7.5 =75 dollars + 50 (pass fee) = 125 dollars total.
10 x 12.5= 125 dollars.
Therefore, in order to get a deal off of the seasonal pass, the McCarter's would have to visit the pool more than 10 times. D.
