Paul has 12 coins in his pocket, consisting entirely of dimes and quarters. If he has a total of 195 cents in coins, how many co
anyanavicka [17]

Let x be the number of dimes

and y be the number of quarters

Total number of coins = 12

So number of dimes + number of quarters = total number of coins

x + y = 12 ---------> equation 1

We know, 1 Quarter = 25 cents, 1 Dime = 10 cents, total cents = 196

y quarters = 25y cents , x dimes = 10x cents

x dimes + y quarters = 195 cents

10x + 25y = 195 -----------> equation 2

Now solve both equations

x + y =12, we solve for y by subtracting x on both sides

y = 12-x

Now substitute y in second equation

10x + 25(12-x) = 195

10x + 300 -25x = 195 (combine like terms)

-15x + 300 = 195 (subtract 300 on both sides)

-15x = -105 ( divide by -15)

x=7

y= 12-x

y=12-7 = 5

The number of dimes = 7

Number of quarters = 5

Find the values of the apple, banana and lollypop below.<br><br> Pls help
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

a= Apple = 3

b= Banana =5

v= Lollypop=1

Step-by-step explanation:

36 is divided into 2 giving us 18

Let apple=a

Banana=b

Lollypop=c

In the first half

An apple + 3 bananas=18

a+3b=18 (1)

Second half is further divided into 2

That is,

18÷2=9

First half of the second half

3apples=9

3a=9 (2)

Second half of the second half

1 apple + 1 banana + 1 lollypop=9

a+b+c=9 (3)

a+3b=18 (1)

3a=9 (2)

a+b+c=9 (3)

From (2)

3a=9

Divide both sides by 3

a=9/3

a=3

Substitute a=3 into 1

a+3b=18

3+3b=18

3b=18-3

3b=15

Divide both sides by 3

b=15/3

=5

b=5

Substitute the value of a and b into (3)

a+b+c=9

3+5+c=9

8+c=9

c=9-8

c=1

Therefore,

a= Apple = 3

b= Banana =5

v= Lollypop=1

There would be 35 rulers.

In order to solve this, use cross multiplication.

6/10 = 21/x -----> cross multiply

10*21 = 6*x

210 = 6x

35 = x
