Answer:

x= 43, y=215

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one number be x,

Let the other number be y.

x= 5y

x - y= 172

Putting value of x in equation 2.

5y - y = 172

4y = 172

y= 172/4

y= 43

Putting value of y in eq. 1

x= 5(43)

x=215.

For every quarter he spends, Reggie receives 50 food pebbles to feed the fish. Reggie has thrown 350 food pebbles into the fish

deff fn [24]

Answer:

7 quarters are spent for throwing 350 food pebbles in pond.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Reggie receives 50 food pebbles for every quarter he spends.

Number of food pebbles he has = 350

Let the number of quarters spent for 350 pebbles be 'x'.

Now, using proportion and cross multiplication method, we can find 'x'.

1 quarter is equivalent to 50 pebbles thrown in pond.

So, 'x' quarters is equivalent to 350 pebbles thrown in pond.

$\frac{1}{50}=\frac{x}{350}\\\\Cross\ multiplying\\\\50x=350\\\\x=\frac{350}{50}\\\\x=7$

So, 7 quarters are spent for throwing 350 food pebbles in pond.
