Answer:
--6+36m
Step-by-step explanation:
Total no. of buttons = 300 + 700 + 1000
+ 500 = 2500
Possibility for a person to pick a pink button = 300/2500 = (3/25)%
Amount of pink buttons she can expect her friends to pick = 50(3/25) = 6
She can expect to make 6 pink barrettes.
Answer:
Ted is 6 years old
Leon is 7 years old
Andrew is 8 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Ted+Leon=13 ⇒T+L=13 ⇒L=13-T
Leon+Andrew=15 ⇒L+A=15 ⇒A=15-L ⇒A=15-(13-T) because Leon =13-Ted
A=2+T
Ted+Andrew=14
T+A=14 ( substitute Andrew age from A=2+T)
T+2+T=14
2T=12
<h2>T=12/2=6 (Ted is 6 years old)</h2><h2>A=2+T=2+6=8 ( Andrew is 8 years old)</h2><h2>Leon=13-T=13-6=7 ( Leons is seven years old)</h2>
check: Ted+Leon=13 ⇒ 6+7=13
Leon + Andrew=15 ⇒7+8=15
Andrew+Ted=14 ⇒ 6+8=14
Let us bear in mind the equivalent value of these coins:
One dime = $0.10
One quarter = $0.25
Let x = number of dimes
y<span> = number of quarters</span>
Since the boy has 70 coins in total, we can say that:
<span>x + y = </span><span>70 </span>(can be written as x = 70 – y)
Since the boy has a total of $12.40, we can say that:
0.10x + 0.25y = 12.40
To solve this problem, we need to solve this system of equation. We have to substitute the value of x as written in the first equation (x = 70 –y)
0.10(70 – y) + 0.25y = 12.40
7 – 0.10y + 0.25y = 12.40
0.15y = 5.40
y = 36
X = 70 – 36
X = 34
Therefore,<span> the boys </span>has<span> 34 dimes and 36 quarters. To check our answer, we just have to check if his money would total $12.40.</span>
34 dimes = $3.40
36 dimes = $9.00
<span>Total </span><span>$12.40</span>
