Answer:

Jill had $136.50 before buying the book.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the total amount that Jill had

Then 12% of x is 0.12x

Jill was left with $120.12 after buying the book

Subtracting the cost of book from the total amount will given us the remaining amount.

Which means

x - 0.12x = 120.12\\0.88x = 120.12\\x = \frac{120.12}{0.88} \\x = 136.50

Hence,

Jill had $136.50 before buying the book.

Carolyn has $2.55 in her purse in nickels and dimes. The number of nickels is nine less than three times the number of dimes. Fi
Flauer [41]

Hi, the answer is ;

Answer:

12 dimes and 27 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

.05N + .1d = 2.55

N= 3d - 9

0.05 (3d-9) + 0.1d = 2.55

0.15d - 0.45 + 0.1d = 2.55

0.25d = 2.55 + 0.45

0.25d = 3

D = 12

N = 3 (12) - 9

N = 36 - 9

N = 27

Given 3 sides of a triangle - how to tell it right, acute, or obtuse 8,11, 16
user100 [1]
Using Pythagorean theorem, we can justify our answer.
if c^2 = a^2 + b^2 then triangle is right one,
if c^2 > a^2 + b^2 then triangle is obtuse and
if c^2 < a^2 + b^2 then triangle is acute triangle.

Here a=8, b=11 and c=16
Put these values in the equation
16^2 = 8 ^2 + 11^2
256 = 64 +121
256> 185
So here c^2 > a^2 + b^2  Which means triangle is obtuse triangle.

Answer: Obtuse Triangle
