Answer:

A combination of 9 bills and 5 coins is the least number of bills and coins.

Step-by-step explanation:

A customer has six (6) $1 bills, three (3) $5 bills, four (4) $10 bills, seven (7) quarters, ten (10) dimes, seven (7) nickels, and nine (9) pennies.

1 quarter = $0.25

1 dime = $0.10

1 penny = $0.01

1 nickel = $0.05

The customer buys a pair of shoes for $49.86.

So, we can split this as following:

49 can be split as 40+9

So,4\times10 bills =$40

1\times5 bill = $5

4\times1 bill = $4

Total is $49 made from 9 bills.

For the decimal part, we can split as :

3\times0.25 quarters = $0.75

1\times0.10 dime = $0.10

1\times0.01 penny = $0.01

Total becomes = $0.86 from 5 coins.

Hence, a combination of 9 bills and 5 coins is the least number of bills and coins the customer can give the cashier in order to buy the shoes for the exact amount and not require any change back.

Length of a rectangle is 5 cm longer than the width. Four squares are constructed outside the rectangle such that each of the sq
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

This is one of those questions that can throw you. The problem is that do you include the original rectangle or not. The way it is written it sounds like you shouldn't

However if you don't the question gives you 2 complex answers. (answers with the sqrt( - 1) in them.

Solution

Let the width = x

Let the length = x + 5

Area of the rectangle: L * w = x * (x + 5)

Area of the smaller squares (there are 2)

Area = 2*s^2

x = s

Area = 2 * x^2

Area of the larger squares = 2 * (x+5)^2

Total Area

x*(x + 5) + 2x^2 + 2(x + 5)^2 = 120                 Expand

x^2 + 5x + 2x^2 + 2(x^2 + 10x + 25) = 120     Remove the brackets

x^2 + 5x + 2x^2 + 2x^2 + 20x + 50 = 120      collect the like terms on the left

5x^2 + 25x +  50 = 120                                   Subtract 120 from both sides.

5x^2 + 25x - 70 = 0                                         Divide through by 5

x^2 + 5x - 14 = 0                                               Factor

(x + 7)(x - 2) = 0                                                 x + 7 has no meaning  

x - 2 =  0

x = 2                                                              

Perimeter

P = 2*w + 2*L

w = 2

L = 2 + 5

L = 7

P = 2*2 + 2 * 7

P = 4 + 14

P = 18
