Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up the following system of equations:

\begin{cases}10d+5n=150\\d+n=22\\\end{cases}, where d is the number of dimes she has and n is the number of nickels she has.

Multiplying the second equation by -5 and adding both equations lets us isolate and solve for d:

10d+5n+(-5(d+n))=150+(-5(22)),\\5d=40,\\d=8

Plugging d=8 into any of the two equations will let us solve for n:

8+n=22,\\n=\fbox{$14$}.

Therefore, she has 14 nickels.

Ms. Martin ordered new pom poms for her cheerleaders. She paid $157.94, which included 6% sales tax. How much were the pom poms
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

$149.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling Price = Final Price / 1 + Sales Tax

(reverse tax calculator)

"For Example:

If your total receipt amount was $57.98, and you paid 1.07 percent in sales tax, you’d simply plug those numbers into our calculator to find out that your original price before tax was $57.37. From there, it is a simple subtraction problem to figure out that you paid .61 cents in sales tax."

A man bought a cow and a horse for $500. He sold the cow at a profit of 10% and the horse at a loss of 10% and suffered a loss o
ycow [4]

Answer:

<em>The man paid $200 for the cow</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>System of Equations</u>

Let's call:

x = price of the cow

y = price of the horse

The man bought the cow and the horse for $500, thus

x + y = 500        [1]

The cow was sold at a profit of 10%, thus:

Sale price of the cow= 1.1x

The horse was sold at a loss of 10%, thus:

Sale price of the horse= 0.9y

The total operation was a 2% loss, i.e. 0.98*500=490. Thus, we have:

1.1x + 0.9y = 490        [2]

From [1]:

y = 500 - x

Substituting in [2]:

1.1x + 0.9(500 - x) = 490

Operating:

1.1x + 450 - 0.9x = 490

0.2x = 490 - 450 = 40

x = 40/0.2

x = 200

The man paid $200 for the cow
