Answer:
d + n = 147
0.10d + 0.05n = 11.65
d = 86, n = 61
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Number of dimes = d
Number of nickels = n
Total coins = 147
Total value = $11.65
d + n = 147 (1)
0.10d + 0.05n = 11.65 (2)
From (1)
d = 147 - n
Substitute d = 147 - n into
0.10d + 0.05n = 11.65
0.10(147 - n) + 0.05n = 11.65
14.7 - 0.10n + 0.05n = 11.65
- 0.10n + 0.05n = 11.65 - 14.7
-0.05n = -3.05
n = -3.05 / -0.05
= 61
n = 61
Substitute n = 61 into
d + n = 147
d + 61 = 147
d = 147 - 61
d = 86
8/5x = 1
or
1.6x = 1
Work:
Add 7/3x and 1/3x to make 8/3x. Equation: 8/3x = 1 + 5/3x
Divide 8/3x by 5/3x, looks like 8 over 3 times 3 over 5. 3s cancel each other out, leaving 8/5x. Equation: 8/5x = 1
If needed to be simplified, 8/5 = 1.6.
I believe the answer is C, i’m not 100% sure though
