Answer: the cost of nursing home care 3 years ago was $37,000
Step-by-step explanation:
$46,000 x 20%=
$46,000 x 20/100= $9,200
$46,000 - $9,200 = $36,800
Let x be the amount of nickels and y be the amount of quarters in a jar. Totally there are 87 coins, then x+y=87.
Since nickel is 5 cent coin and quarter is 25 cent coin, then 5x+25y=1255 ($12.55=1255 cents). Solve this system:x=87-y and 5(87-y)+25y=1255.
435-5y+25y=1255,
25y-5y=1255-435,
20y=820,
y=820÷20,
y=41,
x=87-41=46.
Answer: 46 nickels and 41 quarters.
