Answer:
Part a) In Geneva the watch is cheaper
Part b) The watch in Geneva is
cheaper than the same watch in Manchester
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The question is</em></u>
a) In which city is the watch cheaper?
b) By how much is it cheaper (in £)?
Part a)
Transform
in order to work with the same currency and make the comparison
If 

Now we can make the comparisons:
In Geneva the watch costs
and
in Manchester it costs


therefore
In Geneva the watch is cheaper
Part b)
If we want to know by how much is cheaper, subtract from the expensive price the value of the cheaper price
Therefore
The watch in Geneva is
cheaper than the same watch in Manchester
D= # of dimes
q= # of quarters
QUANTITY EQUATION:
d + q= 64
COST EQUATION:
0.10d + 0.25q= $9.25
STEP 1:
multiply quantity equation by -0.10 to be able to eliminate the d term in step 2
(-0.10)(d + q)= (-0.10)(64)
-0.10d - 0.10q= -6.40
STEP 2:
add equation from step 1 to cost equation to eliminate the d term and solve for q
Add
0.10d + 0.25q= $9.25
-0.10d - 0.10q= -6.40
0.15q= 2.85
divide both sides by 0.15
q= 19 quarters
STEP 3:
substitute q value in step 2 into either original equation to find d value
d + q= 64
d + 19= 64
subtract 19 from both sides
d= 45 dimes
CHECK:
0.10d + 0.25q= $9.25
0.10(45) + 0.25(19)= 9.25
4.50 + 4.75= 9.25
9.25= 9.25
ANSWER: There are 45 dimes and 19 quarters.
