<span>A quarter is equivalent to 25 cents or $0.25 and a nickel is equal to 5 cents or $0.05. In the given in this item, if there are x nickels then, there are x + 7 quarters. With these and the total amount known, we can now compute for the value of x.
(x)(0.05) + (x + 7)(0.25) = 2.65
Simplifying,
0.05x + 0.25x + 1.75 = 2.65
Simplifying further,
0.3x = 0.9
The value of x from the equation is 3. Hence, there are 10 quarters.</span>
Answer:
$5225
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the formula for the amount after simple interest: 
"A" is the final amount, or balance.
"P" is the principal, or the starting amount.
"r" is the rate of interest in decimal form.
"t" is the time.
What we know:
P = 5000
t = 3
r = 1.5%
Convert the rate to decimal form by dividing by 100, or moving the decimal place two places to the left.
1.5% => 0.015 = r
Substitute what we know into the formula:
A = P(1 + rt)
A = 5000(1 + (0.015)(3)) <=simplify
A = 5000(1 + 0.045)
A = 5000(1.045)
A = 5225 <= new balance
The new balance of an account is $5225.
Answer:
The percentage of workers not wearing the helmets is 5.3 %.
Step-by-step explanation:
A safety committee randomly examined 900 construction workers during their work, and found that 48 workers were not wearing helmets. Estimate the percentage of workers who do not wear protective masks during their working time with 98% confidence
total workers = 900
Not wearing helmet = 48
Percentage which are not wearing the helmets
=
%
18m
