Answer:

32 Nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Coins: Nickels (N) and Dimes (D)

$0.05 = 1 nickel and $0.10 = 1 dime

So, the amount implies:

0.05N + 0.10D = 6.20

The number of coin implies:

D = 14 + N

Required

Determine the number of nickels found

Substitute 14 + N for D in 0.05N + 0.10D = 6.20

0.05N + 0.10(14 + N) = 6.20

0.05N + 1.4 + 0.10N = 6.20

Collect Like Terms

0.05N + 0.10N = 6.20 - 1.4

0.15N = 4.8

Solve for N

N = 4.8/0.15

N = 32

Hence, he found 32 nickels

Find the m∠BCA, if m∠DCE = 70° and m∠EDC = 50°.<br><br> 50°<br> 60°<br> 70°<br> 80°
lara [203]
Because of the parallel lines, angles A and DCE are congruent.
Also, angles E and BCA are congruent.
That makes angles B and D congruent.

m<DCE = 70 and m<EDC = 50, so m<E = 60

m<BCA = m<E = 60
