Answer:
<u>Part A: </u>
<u>n = 5q (1st equation)</u>
<u>0.05n + 0.25q = 2 (2nd equation)</u>
<u>Part B:</u>
<u>q = 4 ⇒ n = 5 * 4 = 20</u>
<u>Part C:</u>
<u>Margie has 20 nickels and 4 quarters, for a total of $ 2.00</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's recall that a nickel has a value of $ 0.05 and a quarter a value of $ 0.25.
Let n represent the number of nickels and q represent the number of quarters.
Part A:
Write a system of equations to represent the situation.
n = 5q (1st equation)
n * 0.05 + q * 0.25 = 2
0.05n + 0.25q = 2 (2nd equation)
Part B:
Replacing n in the 2nd equation to solve for q:
0.05n + 0.25q = 2
0.05 * 5q + 0.25q = 2
0.25q + 0.25q = 2
0.5q = 2
q = 2/0.5
<u>q = 4 ⇒ n = 5 * 4 = 20</u>
<u>Part C:</u>
<u>Margie has 20 nickels and 4 quarters, for a total of $ 2.00</u>
Answer:
243 cm^2 + 108 cm^2 = 351 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
So, we have a rectangle and two triangles, we know all the sides or angles.
Rectangle: with 9 cm lenght 15cm + 12 cm = 27 cm
Formula: A=wl -> A=9*27 = 243 cm^2
Trianlge: A=ab/2
Angle 90°
Side A 12 cm
Side B 18 cm - 9 cm = 9 cm
A=ab/2=12·9/2=54 cm times 2 (for the opposite side) = 108 cm^2 = 351 cm^2
