Answer: There are 5 nickels and 10 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Nickels , y= Quarters.

Then x+y = 15

⇒ y=15-x  (i)

1 nickel =  5 cents , 1 quarter = 25 cents

$2.75 = 275  cents    [ 1 dollar = 100 cents ]

Then, 5x+25y= 275    (ii)

Substitute value of y from (i)

5x+25 (15-x)=275

⇒ 5x + 375 - 25x =275

⇒ -20x= 275-375

⇒ -20x= -100

⇒  x = 5   [divide both sides by -20]

Put this in (i) , we get y= 15-5=10

Hence, there are 5 nickels and 10 quarters.

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

1335cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question above,Krispy kritters cereal used to come in a box with a volume of 2,850 cm3. However, the krispy kritters co. Designed a new larger box 22.5 cm wide, 6.2 cm deep, and 30 cm high and we are now asked to find "How many more cubic centimeters will the new box hold than the old box?

Now we are all aware that the volume of a cube or cuboid(since its a box ) is length multipled by width multiplied by the height.

And we were given the new dimensions which are;

12.5cm wide

6.2cm deep and

30cm high

Apply this given figures in the formula above and we have:

V = 12.5 × 6.2 × 30

= 4185cm³( this is the volume of the new box designed by krispy kritters co for their cereal)

Therefore,the difference in volume between the new box and the old box is

4185 - 2850 = 1335cm³
