230,344,996 is in number form
The total if all 236 coins were nickels would be $11.80, which is $3.95 short of the actual amount.
Replacing a nickel with a dime adds $0.05 to the total value, so there must have been $3.95/$0.05 = 79 such replacements.
There are 79 dimes.
There are 236 -79 = 157 nickels.
_____
Using the given variables, the problem statement gives rise to two equations. One is the based on the number of coins. The other is based on their value.
- n + d = 236
- .05n +.10d = 15.75
Solving the first for n, we get
... n = 236 - d
Substituting that into the second equation, we have
... .05(236 -d) +.10d = 15.75
... .05d = 15.75 -236·.05 . . . . . collect terms, subtract .05·236
... d = 3.95/.05 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by .05
... d = 79
... n = 236-79 = 157
___
The solution should look familiar, as it matches the verbal description at the beginning.
The median is the middle-most number. First we need to put the numbers in order from lowest to highest:
81 84 88 94 94 96
The easiest way to find the median is to cross out the first and last number and then continue until you reach the middle.
So cross out 81 and 96:
84 88 94 94 are left.
Cross out 84 and 94:
88 and 94 are left.
Since we are left with 2 different numbers, we need to find the average of them and that’s our median. (88 + 94)/2 = 91
91 is the median.
Answer:
5x-0=25
Step-by-step explanation:
5x-0=25
5x=25
x=5
I hope I did this right :/
Assuming that the sides of the box are square (having 90° angles on all four corners), then it should be relatively easy for us to find the length of the box, given the perimeter and the length of one side.
We know the length of all sides combined is 42 inches, and that the length of one side is 9 inches. With a rectangular prism, the length of one side is the same as the length of the opposite side, so there are two sides that measure 9 inches.
All we need to do to find the measure of both the other sides' lengths is subtract the known lengths from the total length.
9 + 9 = 18
42 - 18 = 24
So the rest of the side lengths added together is 24 inches.
There are two sides left, so all we have to do is divide by 2 to find the length of the box.
24 / 2 = 12
The length of Kate's jewelry box is 12 inches.
Hope that helped =)
