I have k quarters, five less quarters than nickels and one more than twice as many dimes as quarters. Find the value of the coin

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

(35k + 20) cents

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, let us have the value of each unit:

1 quarter = 25 cents

1 nickel = 5 cents

1 dime = 10 cents

Given that number of quarter = k

Quarters are 5 lesser than Nickels, so number of nickels = k+5

One more than twice as many dimes as quarters:

k = 2 $\times$ Number of Dimes + 1

So, number of dimes = $\frac{1}{2}(k-1)$

Value of quarters = $25 \times k$ cents

Value of nickels = $5 \times (k+5) = (5k+25)\ cents$

Value of dimes = $\frac{1}{2}(k-1) \times 10 = (5k-5)\ cents$

So, total value of coins =

$25k + 5k +25 +5k-5\\\Rightarrow (35k+20)\ cents$

Three times the sum of some number plus 2 is equal to 6 times the number minus 15.

Levart [38]

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+2) = 6x-15.

3x+6 = 6x-15

3x = 6x-21

-3x = -21

In , QR = 4, RS = 15, and . In , VT = 8, TU = 32, and . Are the polygons similar? If they are, write a similarity statement and

iris [78.8K]

No because the scale factors are different. You can see that QR compared to VT the scale factor is 2, but in RS and TU it's different, so they are not similar.

Why will the percent of change always be represented by a positive number

Colt1911 [192]

Because if it is a decrease in change, it will be told as a "fall" in change ;')

The rates of on-time flights for commercial jets are continuously tracked by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Recently, So

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

The probability that at least 13 flights arrive late is 2.5196 $\times 10^{-6}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Southwest Air had the best rate with 80 % of its flights arriving on time.

A test is conducted by randomly selecting 18 Southwest flights and observing whether they arrive on time.

The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;

$P(X = x) = \binom{n}{r}\times p^{r} \times (1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,.........$

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 18 Southwest flights

r = number of success = at least 13 flights arrive late

p = probability of success which in our question is probability that

flights arrive late, i.e. p = 1 - 0.80 = 20%

Let X = <u><em>Number of flights that arrive late</em></u>.

So, X ~ Binom(n = 18, p = 0.20)

Now, the probability that at least 13 flights arrive late is given by = P(X $\geq$ 13)

P(X $\geq$ 13) = P(X = 13) + P(X = 14) + P(X = 15) + P(X = 16) + P(X = 17) + P(X = 18)

= $\binom{18}{13}\times 0.20^{13} \times (1-0.20)^{18-13}+ \binom{18}{14}\times 0.20^{14} \times (1-0.20)^{18-14}+ \binom{18}{15}\times 0.20^{15} \times (1-0.20)^{18-15}+ \binom{18}{16}\times 0.20^{16} \times (1-0.20)^{18-16}+ \binom{18}{17}\times 0.20^{17} \times (1-0.20)^{18-17}+ \binom{18}{18}\times 0.20^{18} \times (1-0.20)^{18-18}$

= $\binom{18}{13}\times 0.20^{13} \times 0.80^{5}+ \binom{18}{14}\times 0.20^{14} \times 0.80^{4}+ \binom{18}{15}\times 0.20^{15} \times 0.80^{3}+ \binom{18}{16}\times 0.20^{16} \times 0.80^{2}+ \binom{18}{17}\times 0.20^{17} \times 0.80^{1}+ \binom{18}{18}\times 0.20^{18} \times 0.80^{0}$

= 2.5196 $\times 10^{-6}$ .
