Answer:
First off if you want this answered make sure it's clear when your multiplying or using X
Let's make a system of equations to solve for this:
n + q = 84
0.05n + 0.25q = 12.80
where n = nickels and q = quarters.
---
Solve for n in the first equation by subtracting q from both sides.
n = 84 - q
---
Plug n into the second equation.
0.05(84 - q) + 0.25q = 12.80
Distribute 0.05 inside the parentheses.
4.2 - 0.05q + 0.25q = 12.80
Combine like terms.
4.2 + 0.2q = 12.80
Subtract 4.2 from both sides.
0.2q = 8.6
Divide both sides by 0.2.
q = 43
---
Plug 43 for q in the first equation.
n + (43) = 84
Subtract 43 from both sides.
n = 41
---
There are 41 nickels and 43 quarters in the piggy bank. ✅
Answer: 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
A. 36
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the two angles at the bottom of both the triangles are congruent, the two triangles are similar. Therefore, the corresponding side lengths of the triangles must be proportional to each other
if the area of a triangle is hb/2,
(with h=length of height, b=length of base)
the height of the first triangle is:
25 = 10h/2
50 = 10h
h=5
you can write ratios representing the proportions of the two triangles:
5/x = 10/12 (with x=height of second triangle)
x=6
then find the area of the second triangle with the height (6) and base (12)
(6*12)/2 = 36
0.998 is 9.222 away from 10.22 ,
but it's only 2.098 away from -1.10 .
So -1.10 is quite a bit closer.
