Answer:

3 nickels and 5 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n = number of nickels

q = number of quarters

q = n+2

.25q + .05n = 1.40

Using the first equation and replacing q in the second equation

.25( n+2) + .05n = 1.40

Distribute

.25n+.50 +.05n = 1.40

Combine like terms

.30n +.5 = 1.40

Subtract .5 from each side

.3n +.5-.5 = 1.40-.4

.3n = .9

Divide by .3

.3n/.3 = .9/.3

n = 3

q = n+2

q=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the

Nickel coin = x

Quarter coin = y

y = n + 2

0.25y + 0.05x = 1.4

0.25(x + 2) + 0.05x = 1.4

0.25x + 0.5 + 0.05x = 1.4

0.25x + 0.05x = 1.4 - 0.5

0.30x = 0.9

x = 0.9/0.3

x = 3

y = 3 + 2 = 5

Discounts are used to reduce the original price of an item.

David will pay $25 and 92 cents for an item of $32, before tax

The discount (d) is given as:

$d =19\%$

The price (p) of the item is given as:

$p = \$32$

So, the amount (A) paid before tax is calculated using:

$A = p \times (1 - d)$

Substitute known values

$A = \$32 \times (1 - 19\%)$

Express percentage as decimal

$A = \$32 \times (1 - 0.19)$

Subtract 0.19 from 1

$A = \$32 \times 0.81$

Multiply 32 and 0.81

$A = \$25.92$

Hence, David will pay $25 and 92 cents for an item of $32, before tax

How to find square root ?

Dominik [7]

To estimate a square root, find the two perfect squares the number is closest to, then continue with further decimals, i.e. if the question is square root of 5, it is between 4 and 9. As such, the answer is between 2 and 3. Alternatively, use a calculator for a quick estimation of many decimal points.

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

P(2 quarters) = 19/ (13*16) = 19/208 = 0.0913

Step-by-step explanation:

probability of getting 2 quarters?

first draw: there are 20 quarters to choose from

second draw: there are 19 quarters left to choose

so Total coins are 65 coins

P(2 quarters) = P( 1st quarter)* P(2nd quarter)

P(2 quarters) = 20/65 * (19/64)

P(2 quarters) = 4/13 * 19/64

P(2 quarters) = 19/ (13*16) = 19/208
