[[x]] means to round down to the greatest integer less than or equal to x.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The worth of a penny is 1 cent = 1/100 = $0.01
The worth of a nickel is 5 cents = 5/100 = $0.05
Let x represent the number of pennies that she could have. Lucy has some pennies and some nickels. She has a maximum of 15 coins. If lucky has 6.999999999999999, it means that
6.999999999999999 + x ≥ 15
x ≥ 15 - 6.999999999999999
x ≥ 8
If the 15 coins worth a minimum of $0.47combined, it means that
0.05(6.999999999999999) + 0.01x ≤ 0.47
0.35 + 0.01x ≤ 0.47
0.01x ≤ 0.47 - 0.35
0.01x ≤ 0.12
x ≤ 0.12/0.01
x ≤ 12
Therefore, the possible values for the number of pennies that she could have is 8 ≤ x ≤ 12

Answer:
1. $450
2. $128
Step-by-step explanation:
1. new price = .4 (.4 * original price x)
72 = .16x
x = 450
2. new price = .75 (.75 * original price x)
72 = .5625x
x = 128
Answer:
The least score the student can get is 71 to get an overall B average at the end of the year.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the score she needs to get be = x
We now have to take the mean of all the five subjects <em>(including x)</em> and equate it to the least score she can have to get a B grade.
Let us take the least score the student needs to get a B grade to be 85
Mean of all 5 scores =
The least score the student can get is 71 to get an overall B average at the end of the year.
