Answer:
416 g
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean is calculated as
mean = , then
= 398 ( multiply both sides by 5 )
sum of 5 pods = 1990 g
let x be the weight of the sixth pod , then
= 401 ( multiply both sides by 6 )
1990 + x = 2406 ( subtract 1990 from both sides )
x = 416
That is the weight of the sixth pod is 416 g

Answer: There are 97 nickels and 108 quarters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = Number of nickels, y = Number of quarters.
As per given,
x+y = 205 ...(i)
0.05x+0.25y = 31.85 ... (ii) [1 nickel = $0.05, 1 quarter = $ 0.25]
Multiply (ii) by 20, we get
x+5y=637 ...(iii)
Eliminate (i) from (iii)
4y = 432
⇒ y = 108 [Divide both sides by 4]
Put value of y in (i), we get
Hence, there are 97 nickels and 108 quarters.
