Answer:

Number of $1 coins are 25 and number of 50 cent coins are 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up the equations.

Let there are x number of $1 coins

There are y number of 50 cent coins

So, x+y =55

1 x+0.50 y =40

Solve the equations for x and y.

Solve the first equation for y.

y=55-x

Substitute y as 55-x into the second equation.

1 x+0.50(55-x)=40

Solve the equation for 'x'.

Distribute the 0.50 to get rid the ( ).

1 x+27.5-0.50 x= 40

Combine like terms

0.50 x +27.5=40

Subtract both sides 27.5

0.50 x =12.5

Divide both sides by 0.50

x=25

Now, plug in x as 25

y=55-25

y=30

So, number of $1 coins are 25 and number of 50 cent coins are 30.

Six yards of rope costs $5.50 while four yards costs $4.75
Amiraneli [1.4K]

The best option is the first one (Six yards of rope costs $5.50). It is the lowest unit cost.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

For the given question case, first we should compare the unit costs of the choices provided and evaluate the best option.

Choice 1:

Six yards of rope costs $ 5.50

            \frac{5.50 \text { dollar}}{6 \text { yard }}=0.9167\ dollar/yard

Choice 2:

Four yards costs $ 4.75

           \frac{4.75 \text { dollar}}{4 \text { yard }}=1.1875\ dollar/yard

Thus, the best choice is the first one. Because it is the lowest unit cost.
