The sequence is geometric and the common ratio is 2
Let x be the number of pennies which is also equal to the number of dimes. By this representation, the number of quarters is equal 46 - 2x. The total amount is $4.87 or 487 cents. The equation that best represent the given is,
x + 10x + 25(46 - 2x) = 487
The value of x from the equation is 17. Therefore, there are 17 of both pennies and dimes and 12 quarters.
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3><u>G</u><u>i</u><u>v</u><u>e</u><u>n</u><u> </u><u>Inform</u><u>ation</u><u> </u><u>:</u></h3>
- Ryan spent 1/3 of his monthly salary for rent and 1/7 of his monthly salary for his utility bill.
- Remaining money = $759
<h3><u>T</u><u>o</u><u> </u><u>calculate</u><u> </u><u>:</u></h3>
<h3><u>C</u><u>a</u><u>l</u><u>c</u><u>u</u><u>l</u><u>a</u><u>t</u><u>i</u><u>o</u><u>n</u><u> </u><u>:</u></h3>
Let us assume his monthly salary as x. According to the question,
➝ Money spent on rent + Money spent for utility bill + Remaining money = His salary








<u>Therefore,</u><u> </u><u>his</u><u> </u><u>monthly</u><u> </u><u>income</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>$</u><u>1</u><u>4</u><u>4</u><u>9</u><u>.</u>
The answer is 20% just divide them and move the decimal 2 ways to the right
