Mike, a Salvation Army bell ringer, has 20% as many quarters as nickels in his cup. If Mike has $6.00 in quarters and nickels, h
ow many nickels does he have?
1 answer:
5.8 Nickels
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x rep no of Nickels in Mike's cup
Then x - 0.2 = Number of quarters in Mike's cup
0.2x = Amount of money that mike has from the nickels
1 ( x - 0.2) = Amount of money that Mike has from the quarter
Then,
0.2x + 1 (x - 0.2) = 6
Expand the bracket
0.2x + x - 0.2x = 6
x = 6
Recall
x - 0.2 = 0
6 - 0.2 = 5.8
Therefore, Mike has 5.8 nickels for the quarter

x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
3(2x+3)=27
2x+3=27/3=9
2x=9-3=6
x=6/2=3
X/2 is what i think it is because each number divides by 2
10,10 and 20 cannot as 10+10=20 so there would be a triangle with no area.
The others can all be the sides of a triangle as 7+7>8, 7+6>11 and 2+8>9.
