1.30(2) + X = 6.10
This would be one of a few equations to do. 1.30(2) represents the cartons of eggs which are each 1.30. the X will represent the price of pancake mix and the total is 6.10.
The question is incomplete:
James has dimes and quarters saved up in his change jar. He has a total of 162 coins totaling $31.20 what is the total amount james has in quarters?
a. $10.00
b. $6.20
c.$15.50
d.$25.00
Answer:
d.$25.00
Step-by-step explanation:
With the information provided, you can write the following equations given that dimes are equal to 0.10 and quarters to 0.25 to determine the number of dimes and quarters that James has:
x+y=162 (1)
0.10x+0.25y=31.20 (2), where:
x is the number of dimes
y is the number of quarters
First, you can solve for x in (1):
x=162-y (3)
Then, you have to replace (3) in (2) and solve for y:
0.10(162-y)+0.25y=31.20
16.2-0.10y+0.25y=31.20
0.15y=31.20-16.2
0.15y=15
y=15/0.15
y=100
Finally, you have to replace the value of y in (3) to find x:
x=162-100
x=62
Now, you know that James has 100 quarters and you can multiply this number for the value of a quarter to find the amount James has in quarters:
100*0.25=25
According to this, the answer is that James has $25 in quarters.
Answer:
Amanda= 14
Boris = 88
Jose= 22
Step-by-step explanation:
Amanda= jose-8
Boris = 4×jose
Jose= Jose
total all = 124
(jose-8)+(jose×4)+(jose)= 124
so we substitute jose with X .
(X-8)+(4X)+(X)=124
6X-8= 124.
6X=124+8
X=132/6
X= 22.
so that total jose is 22, minus 8 we get Amanda, times 4 we get Boris.
