X represents nickels
y represents dimes
x+y=29
5x+10y=210
multiply the first equation by -5 (elimination method)
-5x-5y=-145
then add the two equations together
5y=65
divide 5 from both sides
y=13
13 dimes
Answer:
17.1
Step-by-step explanation:
4.8 / 96 = x / 120
96x = 576
x = 576/96
x = 6
check :
unit rate for 96 oz container at 4.80 = 4.80/96 = 0.05 per oz
unit rate for 120 oz container at 6.00 = 6.00/120 = 0.05 per oz
Basically ur looking for an equivalent fraction (and that is what proportions are...this will reduce to the same unit rate. So ur answer is $ 6.00
