and nine (9) pennies. The customer buys a pair of shoes for $49.86. Based on the combination of bills and coins the customer has, what are 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?

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.

You are given an original figure with coordinates B(-7,-2), A(5,-2), and D(-7,7) and its image with coordinates J(-3,0), K(1,0),
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

DB = 9  units  (by counting)

BA = 12 units  (by counting)

DA  can be found by using the pythagorean theorem

a^2 +b^2 = c^2

BD^2 + BA^2 = DA ^2

9^2 +12^2 = DA^2

81 +144 = DA^2

225 = DA ^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(225) = sqrt(DA^2)

15 = DA

LJ = 3  units  (by counting)

JK = 4 units  (by counting)

LK  can be found by using the pythagorean theorem

a^2 +b^2 = c^2

LJ^2 + JK^2 = LK ^2

3^2 +4^2 = LK^2

9 +116 = LK^2

25 = LK ^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(25) = sqrt(LK^2)

5 = LK

Scale factor from BAD to JKL

15 to 5

Divide each side by 5

3 to 1

We multiply by 1/3 to go from the big to small

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

First, note that the figure is a parallelogram.

The area of a parallelogram is given by:

A=bh

Where b is the base length and h is the vertical height.

The base length is 5+2 or 7, and the vertical height is 2.

Thus:

A=7(2)\\A=14\text{ in}^2

The answer is B.
