Answer:
14 dimes and 4 quarters
Step-by-step explanation:
x= number of dimes
y=number of quarters
x-10=y
0.10x+0.25y=2.40
substitute for y
0.10x+0.25(x-10)=2.40
0.35x-2.50=2.40
0.35x=4.90
x=14
y=4
NAP = 180 - NAC - PAT = 180 - 61 - 46 = 119 - 46 = 73 degrees
Answer:
$3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c represent the cost of a box of cereal and let m represent the cost of a jug of milk.
Create a system of equations:
2c + m = 8.5
3c + 2m = 14
Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by -2:
-4c - 2m = -17
3c + 2m = 14
Add them together and solve for c:
-c = -3
c = 3
So, a box of cereal costs $3
