Answer:
t = pn
Step-by-step explanation:
We are to find the relationship between total cost and the number of items.
First we would represent the relationship between total cost and number of items with variables
Let the total cost = t
and the number of items = n
Total cost t is proportional to the number n of items:
t ∝ n
t = kn
where k is constant
Since it is purchased at a constant price p, the constant of proportionality would be p. the k would be replaced with p
t = pn
Approx. 5 miles I would say give or take the 1/2 mile shortcut by taking a straight path back to the house. I don't know if you need an exact distance but I hope this helps.

Answer:
x = number of nickels = 127
y = number of dimes = 156
z = number of quarters = 78
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = number of nickels
y = number of dimes
z = number of quarters
Total worth of the coins = $41.45
Total number of coins = 361
x + y + z = 361 (1)
dime = $0.1,
nickel = $0.05
quarter = $0.25
0.05x + 0.1y + 0.25z = 41.45 (2)
twice as many dimes as quarters.
y = 2z
Substitute y = 2z into (1) and (2)
x + 2z + z = 361
0.05x + 0.1(2z) + 0.25z = 41.45
x + 3z = 361
0.05x + 0.2z + 0.25z = 41.45
x + 3z = 361 (3)
0.05x + 0.45z = 41.45 (4)
Multiply (4) by 20
x + 3z = 361 (3)
x + 9z = 829 (5)
Subtract (3) from (5)
9z - 3z = 829 - 361
6z = 468
Divide both sides by 6
z = 468 / 6
= 78
z= 78
Recall,
y = 2z
= 2(78)
= 156
y = 156
Substitute the value of y and z into
x + y + z = 361
x + 156 + 78 = 361
x + 234 = 361
x = 361 - 234
= 127
x= 127
x = number of nickels = 127
y = number of dimes = 156
z = number of quarters = 78
