Answer:

Amanda has 17 quarters and 8 dimes.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved using a system of equations and the substitution method. Let 'q' be the number of quarters and 'd' be the number of dimes. We know that the amount of dimes and quarters is $5.15 or: 0.1d + 0.25q = 5.15. We also know that there are 8 more quarters than dimes: q = d + 8. Substituting the expression 'd+ 8' into the first equation will help us solve for 'd': 0.1d + 0.25(d +8) = 5.15. Using distributive property and inverse operations, we can solve for d: 0.1d + 0.25d + 2 = 5.15 or 0.35d = 3.15 or d = 9. Since we now know there are 9 dimes, we can solve for 'q': q = 9 + 8 = 17.

What’s the inverse of 4x + 12

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

1/4x -3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse of a function, exchange x and y and then solve for y

y =4x+12

Exchange x and y

x = 4y+12

Solve for y

Subtract 12 from each side

x-12 = 4y+12-12

x-12 = 4y

Divide by 4

(x-12)/4 = 4y/4

The inverse is

1/4x -3

The volume of a cuboid is 176cm

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

.08cm or 0.08cm

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we can see that 20mm is in millimeters, not centimeters.

If we convert the ones in centimeters to millimeters, it will result in decimals, which I want to avoid, but you could also do it that way.

There are 10 mm in 1 cm, so I multiply all of the values in cm by 10.

So now, we have that the volume is 1760mm, the length is 110mm, and the width is 20mm.

The formula for the volume of a cuboid is: $w*l*h = volume$

We have the width, length, and volume, so let's plug it in.

$20*110*h=1760$

To solve for h:

1. Multiply 20 and 100

$2200*h=1760$

2. Divide both sides by 2200

$h = 1760/2200$

3. Divide right side

h = 0.8

Keep in mind that this is in millimeters. In centimeters, it would be .08

If we take 771 to be the 100%, and increase it by 98%, thus 100% + 98% = 198.

now, if 771 is the 100%, what is the 198%?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
771&100\\
a&198
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{771}{a}=\cfrac{100}{198}\implies \cfrac{771\cdot 198}{100}=a$
