Answer:

There are 24 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of nickels

Let y represent the number of quarters
—————————————————————

Value Value
Type Number of of
of of each all
Coin Coin Coin Coin
—————————————————————
Nickels | x | $0.05 | $0.05x
Quarters | y | $0.25 | $0.25y
—————————————————————
Totals 28 ——— $2.20
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

The first equation comes from the “Number of coins” column.

(Number of nickels) + (Number of quarters) = (total number of coins)

Equation: x + y = 28
—————————————————————
The second equation comes from the “value of all coins” column.

(Value of all nickels) + (Value of all quarters) = (Total value of all coins)

0.05x + 0.25y = 2.20

Remove the decimals by multiplying each term by 100:

5x + 25y = 220
—————————————————————
So we have the system of equations:

{x + y = 28
{5x + 25y = 202

Solve by substitution. Solve the first equation for y:

x + y = 28
y = 28 - x

Substitute (28 - x) for y in 5x + 25y = 220

5x + 25 (28 - x) = 220
5x + 700 - 25x = 220
-20x + 700 = 220
-20x = -480
x = 24

The number of nickels is 24.
————————————————————
Substitute in y = 28 - x
y = 28 - (24)
y = 4

The number of quarters is 4.
————————————————————
Checking:

24 nickels is $1.20 and 4 quarters is $1.00
That’s 28 coins.
Indeed $1.20 + $1.00 = $2.20

Zack wants a new skateboard that costs $98. He has a coupon for 20% off the original price. The sales tax is 6%, what is the fin
svet-max [94.6K]

The final cost of skateboard will be $83.10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of skateboard = $98

Coupon = 20% off

Amount of discount = 20% of cost of skateboard

Amount\ of\ discount=\frac{20}{100}*98\\\\Amount\ of\ discount=\frac{1960}{100}\\\\Amount\ of\ discount=\$19.6

Cost of skateboard after discount = Cost of skateboard - Amount of discount

Cost of skateboard after discount = 98 - 19.6 = $78.4

Sales tax = 6%

Sales tax amount = 6% of discounted price

Sales\ tax\ amount=\frac{6}{100}*78.4\\\\Sales\ tax\ amount=\frac{470.4}{100}\\\\Sales\ tax\ amount=\$4.70

Final cost of skateboard = Discounted price + Sales tax

Final cost of skateboard = 78.40+4.70 = $83.10

The final cost of skateboard will be $83.10
