I think in this situation the best method would be a guess and check. You know that there are 8 dimes more than there are nickels. So just keep increasing each number by one until you reach $1.40. If there were 9 dimes and 1 nickels it would add up to $0.95. If there were 10 dimes and 2 nickels, it would add up to $1.10. If there were 11 dimes and 3 nickels, it would add up to $1.25. If there were 12 dimes and 4 nickels, it would add up to $1.40. So your answer is 12 dimes and 4 nickels.
I hope this helped!

Answer:
25.5 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean number of days (μ) = 22 days
Standard deviation (σ) = 6 days
Z-score for the 72nd percentile (according to tabulated values) = 0.583
The z-score for any number of days, X, is determined by:

The value of X that is greater than 72% of the trial times is:

Therefore, 72% of all of these types of trials are completed within 25.5 days.
