Let's simpifuy the answer they gave us:
Answer letter C
Answer:
Let the no of quarters be x
According to given,
x + (x+4) + (x+4)/2 = 6
x + (x+4) + (x + 8)/2 = 6
x + x + 4 + (x + 8)/2 = 6
[2 (2x + 4) + (x + 2)]/2 = 6
4x + 8 + x + 2 = 6 × 2
5x + 10 = 12
5x = 12 - 10
5x = 2
x = 2/5
•°• x = 0.4
1 doller = 4 quarter
0.4 doller = p
p = 0.4 × 4 = 1.6
•°• There are 1.6 quarter.
16.4 is the answer. How to get the answer and others like it is like this. The first number after the decimal is the tenth place signaled by this .1 (For the examples I will always put the "1" where the value I'm trying to show) the hundredth place is here .21, and the thousandth is here .321 , hope this helps.
