When u have an outlier, u want to use the median.....in this case, the median is 4
Answer:
12 dimes and 18 nickels
Step-by-step explanation:
Equations given by word problem:
n + d = 30
0.05n + 0.1d= 2.10
How I solved them:
d= 30 - n
0.05n + 0.1(30 - n)= 2.10
0.05n + 3 - 0.1n= 2.10
-0.05n= -.09
Divide both sides by -0.05
n= 18
18 + d = 30
d= 12
The solution is -5/4= -1 1/4
Think of this situation as a system of equations.
let y be the price of hotdogs
let x be the price of hamburgers
5y + 2x = 8
2y + 5x = 9.50
now use your solution method of choice
substitution, elimination, matrices, etc
Answer:
the answer is 1 over 8 , 1/8
