Division and multiplication
Answer: F=bill for first shop=4S-$630; S=bill for second shop
.
F+S=$3265 Substitute for F
4S-$630+S=$3265
5S=$3895
S=$779 ANSWER 1: The bill for the second shop was $779
.
F=4S-$630
F=4($779)-$630
F=$3116-$630=$2486 ANSWER 2: The bill for the first shop was $2486.
.
CHECK:
F+S=$3265
$2486+$779=$3265
$3265=$3265
explanation:
Yes, because it does not matter which order you multiply the factors in; you will always get the same answer.
X= number of nickels
3x= number of dimes
Each nickel is $0.05 and each dime is $0.10. Multiply each coins monetary value by the quantity of each. Add them equal to the total $9.10.
(0.05 * x) + (0.10 * 3x)= 9.10
multiply inside parentheses
0.05x + 0.3x= 9.10
add
0.35x= 9.10
divide both sides by 0.35x
x= 26 nickels
DIMES
3x= 3(26)= 78 dimes
CHECK:
(26 nickels * 0.05) + (78 dimes * 0.10)= 9.10
$1.30 + $7.80= $9.10
$9.10= $9.10
ANSWER: There are 26 nickels and 78 dimes.
Hope this helps! :)
