Answer:

Amy has 12 5¢ coins

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>x</em> represent 20¢ coins and <em>y</em> represent 5¢ coins.

Amy has four more 20¢ coins than 5¢ coins. Hence:

x=y+4

And the total value of all her coins is $3.80. Thus:

0.2x+0.05y=3.8

This yields a system of equations:

\displaystyle \begin{cases} x=y+4 \\ 0.2x+0.05y=3.8\end{cases}

We can solve by substitution. Substitute the first equation into the first:

\displaystyle 0.2(y+4)+0.05y=3.8

Distribute:

\displaystyle 0.2y+0.8+0.05y=3.8

Combine like terms:

\displaystyle 0.25y = 3

And divide both sides by 0.25. Hence:

y=12

Thus, Amy has 12 5¢ coins.

Using the first equation:

x=y+4

Substitute:

x=(12)+4=16

Thus, Amy has 16 20¢ coins.

In conclusion, Amy has 12 5¢ coins and 16 20¢ coins.

Ed plants trees in city parks. He used 1\10 of a bag of fertilizer around the base of a newly planted tree. How many trees can E
valina [46]
To determine this you could think of it in a couple ways.

1. If it takes 1/10 of a bag of fertilizer to put around 1 tree, he can fertilize 10 trees with 1 bag because there are 10 groups of 1/10 in a bag. Take 10 x 40 because there are 40 bags and get 400 trees to be fertilized.

2. You can divide 40 by 1/10 as the other strategy.
This is the same as 40 x 10/1.

Also equaling 400 trees that can be fertilized.
