A. You can get this through the process known as completing the square.
Answer:
- n + q = 25
- 0.05n + 0.25q = 4.05
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Two equations</em> are required to represent this problem as posed.
1. An equation for the number of coins:
n + q = 25
2. An equation for the value of the coins:
0.05n + 0.25q = 4.05
We can create an equation.
What percent is x
'of' indicates multiplication
'is' indicates an equal sign
So we have:
x * 42 = 28
42x = 28
Divide 42 to both sides:
x = 2/3
Multiply by 100 to convert to a percentage.
x = 66 2/3 %
