A) .10 d + .25 q = 7.75
B) d + q = 40
Multiplying B) by -.10
B) -.10d -.10q = -4.0
Then adding this to A)
A) .10 d + .25 q = 7.75
.15q = 3.75
Quarters = 25
Therefore, dimes = 15
***************************************************
Double-Check
A) .10 d + .25 q = 7.75
A) .10 * 15 d + .25 * 25 = 7.75
A) 1.50 + 6.25 = 7.75
Correct!!
Not sure if your the same person but I had already done the work for this problem....
P(not 5) =5/6 and P(5) = 1/6
If the first 5 is rolled on the 5th roll then the first four rolls were not 5
P(5 on fifth roll) = 5/6 x 5/6 x 5/6 x 5/6 x 1/6 = 5^4/6^5 = 625/7776 = 0.080375...
X/3=1351/7
cross multiply
7x=4053
divide by seven on both sides
x=579
Ur answer will be - A≈69.65cm².
