Answer:

  • A - 16, B - 79, C - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>

  • A costs 5$
  • B costs  $0.25
  • C costs $0.05
  • A + B + C = 100
  • 5A + 0.25B + 0.05C = 100 ⇒ 100A + 5B + C = 2000

<u>Subtract the first equation from the second:</u>

  • 99A + 4B = 1900

<u>We have a restriction in numbers:</u>

  • 0 < A, B, C < 100

<u>Since 4B can be max 400, we get 99A > 1500  and 99A < 1900 so:</u>

  • A > 1500/99 > 15

and

  • A < 1900/99 < 19

A can be 16 or 18 as it should be even number to get B the whole number.

<u>If A = 16:</u>

  • 99*16 + 4B = 1900
  • 4B = 1900 - 1584
  • 4B = 316
  • B = 316/4 = 79

<u>If A = 18:</u>

  • 99*18 + 4B = 1900
  • 4B = 1900 - 1782
  • 4B = 118
  • B = 118/4 = 29.5, discarded as decimal

<u>So we get:</u>

  • A = 16, B = 79 and C = 100 - (16 + 79) = 5

<u>Let's proof the numbers:</u>

  • 16*5 + 79*0.25 + 5*0.05 = 100, confirmed

Figure ABCD is graphed on a coordinate plane.
Phoenix [80]
1. BC is 1+3=4 (units)

2. AD is 3+5= 8 (units)

3. Draw the altitude CH from point C, as shown in the figure.

4. Then triangle CHD is a right triangle, with hypothenuse CD, and sides HD and CH.

5. CD^2=HD^2+CH^2

CD^2=2^2+4^2=4+16=20

CD= \sqrt{20}= \sqrt{4*5}= \sqrt{4} *  \sqrt{5}=2 \sqrt{5}= 4.47

6. AB=CD=4.47 because the trapezoid is isosceles.

7. P= BC+AD+AB+CD=4+8+4.47+4.47=20.9 (units)
