If x = # of quarters, then, the # of dimes will be equal to 2x. The total value (z) would be equal to:
z = 0.25x + 0.10(2x)
Then, since you switch the quarters and the dimes, and you have a new total, the resulting equation will be:
1.2 + z = 0.25(2x) + 0.10(x)
Plug in the values you know:
1.2 + (0.25x + 0.10(2x)) = 0.25(2x) + 0.10(x)
Solve for x:
1.2 + (0.25x + 0.20x) = 0.50x + 0.10x
1.2 + 0.45x = 0.60x
1.2 = 0.15x
x = 1.2/0.15 = 8
This means that there are 8 Quarters in her bag right now. So, the amount of dimes is just 2x which is 16. So your answer will be:
She has 8 Quarters and 16 Dimes in her bag right now. Or, $3.60.
If this doesn't make sense, then tell me. I have some resources where I got the answer from to put it into simplest terms. I have the website if you want.
X = string section
y = brass section
x = y + 35
y = 29 .....there are 29 in the brass section
x = 29 + 35
x = 64...there are 64 in the string section
for a total of : 64 + 29 = 93 total musicians <==
Answer:
1/9.
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a total of 15 cards in the stack.
Prob( Queen is chosen) = 5/15 = 1/3.
The probability of a second queen being chosen is also 1/3
Required probability = 1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9.
Let the wire left be x yards.
Therefore, the answer of your question will be x yards.
Answer = x yards
