I beleive that x would equal 50
9 quarters = $2.25; and 16 nickels= $0.80.
9 quarters plus 16 nickels is 25 coins and $2.25 + $0.80 = $3.05
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Xavier, Yolanda and Zara shared some money.
Let x represent Xavier's share
Let y represent Yolanda's share
Let z represent Zara's share.
Yolanda received 40% more money than Xavier. This means that
y = x + 40/100×x = x + 0.4x = 1.4x
Zara received 60% of Yolanda's share. This means that
z = 60/100× 1.4 = 0.6×1.4 = 0.84x
. If Zara received $1,176, then,
0.84x = 1176
x = 1176/0.84 = 1400
y = 1.4 × 1400 = $1960
z = 0.84 × 1400 = $1176
The sum of the money is
1400 + 1960 + 1176 = $4536
77/100 cannot be further simplified
Answer:
Total Cost, C=$(16S +56)
Step-by-step explanation:
Chris buys 8 more Ninja Turtles than Star Wars action figures.
Cost of each Ninja Turtle = $7
Cost of each Star Wars = $9
Let number of Star Wars bought = S
As per question statement, number of Ninja Turtles bought = S+8
Cost of 'S' number of Star Wars = Number of Star Wars bought
cost of each Star Wars
Total cost of Star Wars bought = S
9 or $9S
Similarly, Cost of 'S+8' number of Ninja Turtles = Number of Ninja Turtles bought
cost of each Ninja Turtles
Total cost of Ninja Turtles bought = (S+8)
7 or $(7S +56)
Total Cost of the purchase = Total cost of Star Wars Bought + Total cost of Ninja Turtles bought
Total Cost of the purchase, C = 9S + (7S +56)
