Answer:

1500 cans

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

In this problem Dennis can either bring cans to the supermarket or to the recycling center.

If Dennis brings cans to the supermarket, he'll earn 5 cents per can. That means that if Dennis brings c cans, he'll receive 0.05c dollars (as we're talking about cents, it'll be written as 0.05, not 5).

Dennis can also bring cans to the recycling center. He'll earn 6 cents there, but he needs to pay a $15 fee.

In that case, c cans will allow Dennis to earn 0.06c dollars, but as Dennis needs to pay $15 every time he goes to the recycling center, he'll be LOOSING $15. Hence, going to the recycling center will be 0.06c-15

We want to figure out how many cans Dennis will need to return to receive the same amount of money from both the supermarket and the recycling center. So that means that 0.05c will have to equal 0.06c-15 (it'll be the same amount of money).

That means as an equation:

0.05c=0.06c-15

Subtract 0.06c from both sides

-0.01c=-15

Divide both sides by -0.01

c=1500

You can plug 1500 as c in the equation to double check:

0.05(1500)=0.06(1500)-15

75=90-15

75=75

It works!

So Dennis will need to bring 1500 cans to get the same amount of money at both places

Hope this helps!

My pigg y bank has only pennies and nicklels in it , and 2/7 of the coins are nickel If i remove 84 pennies then 1/3 of the reme
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

There are 105 pennies in the piggy bank.

There are 42 nickels in the piggy bank.

Step-by-step explanation:

there are:

p pennies in the piggy bank

n nickels in the piggy bank

Then we can define T, the total number of coins, as:

T = p + n

We know that 2/7 of the total number of coins are nickels.

This can be written as:

n = (2/7)*T = (2/7)*(n + p)

And if we remove 84 pennies, 1/3 of the remaining coins are pennies.

This can be written as:

p - 84 = (1/3)*(n + p - 84)

Then we have a system of two equations:

n = (2/7)*(n + p)

p - 84 = (1/3)*(n + p - 84)

Let's solve the system, to do it, we first need to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations.

We can isolate n in the first one, to get:

n = (2/7)*(n + p) = (2/7)*n + (2/7)*p

n - (2/7)*n = (2/7)*p

n*(5/7) = (2/7)*p

n = (7/5)*(2/7)*p = (2/5)*p

n = (2/5)*p

Now we can replace this in the other equation:

p - 84 = (1/3)*(n + p - 84)

p - 84 = (1/3)*( (2/5)*p + p - 84)

Let's solve this for p

p - 84 = (1/3)*( (7/5)*p - 84)

3*(p - 84) = (7/5)*p - 84

3p - 252 = (7/5)*p - 84

3*p - (7/5)*p = 252 - 84

(15/5)*p - (7/5)*p = 168

(8/5)*p = 168

p = (5/8)*168 = 105

There are 105 pennies in the piggy bank.

And we know that:

n = (2/5)*p = (2/5)*105 = 42

There are 42 nickels in the piggy bank.
