Answer: there are 8 quarters in the jar
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of nickels that is inside the jar.
The total number of coins inside the jar is 20.
Probability is expressed as
Number of possible or favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes.
The probability of selecting a nickel is 0.6. This is expressed as
0.6 = x/20
Cross multiplying, it becomes
x = 20 × 0.6
x = 12
Since there are 12 nickels inside the jar, then the number of quarters would be
20 - 12 = 8
6 times a number n is 6n.
In algebra, when number multiply with variables, you don't need a multiplication sign (x). You just put them together like 6n (instead of 6 x n).

Answer: 30 students more voted for Gerardo than for Juju.
Explanation:
<u>so 'x' represent the total number of students</u>
<u />
<u>0.40x of the students voted for Gerardo</u>
<u />
<u>0.35x of the students voted for Leandro</u>
<u />
<u>0.25x of the students voted for Juju</u>
<u />
<u>70 students voted for Leandro:</u>
<u />
<u>0.35x = 70 </u>
<u />
<u>by solving we find:</u>
<u />
<u>x = 200 students</u>
<u />
<u>0.40x - 0.25x = (0.40 - 0.25)x = 0.15x = 0.15*200 = 30</u>
