Answer:
10.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
By similar triangles:
IJ / 21 = 8 /(8+8) = 1/2
IJ / 21 = 1/2
IJ = 1/2 * 21
= 10.5.

Add all of the numbers because they are like-terms (because they are all ounces)
he made 8 ounce servings, so 116/8 = 14.5 there are 4 ounces left
Nickels = x
dimes = x + 4
quarters = x
Value of coins:
nickel = 5 cents
dime = 10 cents
quarter = 25 cents
5x + 10(x + 4) + 25x = 3.20
5x + 10x + 40 + 25x = 320
40x = 320 - 40
40x = 280
x = 280/40
x = 7
There are 7 quarters, 7 nickels and 11 dimes.
