A total of 20 quarters and nickels add up to $4.00. How many nickels are there?
mariarad [96]

Answer:

5 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

You can setup and solve a system of equations, or you can solve by trial and error until you get the correct answer.

Here is the solution by trial and error.

If all 20 coins are quarters, the value is 20 * $0.25 = $5

That is too much value.

Let's try 16 quarters. 16 quarters are worth 16 * $0.25 = $4.

That is the correct value, but it is only with quarters, and only 16 of them.

We need fewer quarters than 16.

Try 12 quarters: 12 * $0.25 = $3.00

The number of nickels is: 20 - 12 = 8

8 nickels are worth 8 * $0.05 = $0.40

12 quarters and 8 nickels are worth $3.00 + $0.40 = $3.40

There are 20 coins, but the value is too low.

The number of quarters is between 12 and 16.

Try 14 quarters and 6 nickels:

14 * $0.25 + 6 * $0.05 = $3.50 + $0.30 = $3.80

We are closer to $4 but not there yet.

Try 15 quarters and 5 nickels.

15 * $0.25 + 5 * $0.05 = $3.75 + $0.25 = $4

The total value is $4 and there are 20 coins. This is the answer.

15 quarters and 5 nickels works.

Melinda and Marcus are saving money to purchase a present for a friend. Each friend starts with an amount and also saves a speci
Goshia [24]
Let's find the rates at which Melinda and Marcus are saving money and compare them. 
Based on the table, we can see that Melinda originally had $75. Then she got $135 in 5 weeks.  So the rate of saving money is (135–75)/5 = $12 per week.
This rate is unchanged for the next weeks. As we can see, she got $195 in the next 5 weeks. So she saved $60 more those 5 weeks, or the rate is $60/5 = $12 per week again. 

So Melinda saved $12 per week.
As for Marcus, the equation tells us that the rate of saving money is $14 which is the coefficient in front of x.

Hence, t<span>he rate at which Melinda is adding to her savings each week is 2$
less than the rate at which Marcus is adding to his savings each week.</span>

Help with number 12 please
Troyanec [42]
 <span>The fifth power of ten would not be represented. 
Each individual digit would be shown as a power of ten. 
982 would be the sum of: 
9 times 100. (100 is 10 to the second power) 
plus 
8 times 10. (10 is 10 to the first power.) 
plus 
2 times 1. (I is 10 to the zero power.) 

The only significant digit represented by a zero is the "hundred thousands" 
(100,000 is 10 to the fifth power.)</span>
