Let total amount spent =x
Dita spent 35 % of total amount.
35% of x = 0.35x
So amount spent by Dita = 0.35x
% of money spent by Benton = 20 % of x = 0.2x
We are given that Benton spent $12 more than Claire,
so making equation we have ,
Money spent by Dita = Money spent by Claire +12
x=80
So total amount spent was $80.
Money spent by Benton = 0.2x = 0.2 * 80= $16
So amount spent by Benton is $16.
Answer:
Number of dimes = 28
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Worth of coins = $6.30 = 6.30 * 100 = 630 cents
Let,
x be the number of dimes
y be the number of quarters
According to given statement;
x = 2y Eqn 1
10x+25y = 630 Eqn 2
Putting x = 2y in Eqn 2
10(2y) + 25y = 630
20y + 25y = 630
45y = 630
Dividing both sides by 45
Putting y=14 in Eqn 1
x = 2(14)
x = 28
Hence,
Number of dimes = 28
