Answer: 32 nickels and 20 quarters :)

Step-by-step explanation:

first lets make an equation

quarters - 25 cents so 25x

nickels - 5 cents so 5y

^ in those expressions, we've established that the variable (x or y) as the amount of coins

so 25 * however many quarters plus 5 * however many nickels will give you the total amount of cents :)

since we're working in cents, lets change $6.60 to 660 cents

25x + 5y = 660

now the problem is that we cant solve this equation due to two different variables

but we know that the total amount of coins is 52, so we can state that

x + y = 52

to make this easier to eventually plug into our previous equation, just pick a variable and isolate it. i'll do x

x = 52 - y

okkk now lets plug it into our equation

25 (52 - y) + 5y = 660

1300 - 25y + 5y = 660

1300 - 20y = 660

-1300           -1300

-20y = -640

y = -640 / -20

y = 32

so we know that we have 32 nickels

now we plug in that answer to our second equation to find how many quarters

x + y = 52

x + 32 = 52

x = 52 - 32

x = 20

so we have 32 nickels and 20 quarters :))

hope this helped

In her last basketball game, Carla scored 46 points. In the current game, she has scored 24 points so far. How many more two-poi
KatRina [158]

Answer:

Carla needs to make at least 11 two-pointer shots in the surrent game

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we can do is to find the difference between the number of points that Carla scored in her first game and her second game.

This will be 46 - 24 = 22 points difference

Carla needs to make a certain number of two-pointers to get at least the same score she had in her previous game.

We can get this number of two-pointers that needed to be made by dividing the difference in scores by 2

i.e number of two-pointer shots = 22/2 =11 shots

Therefore, Carla needs to make at least 11 two-pointer shots to be able to get the same score in her current game.

If 1 euro is priced at $1.25 and if 1 euro will also buy 88 Japanese yen (€1 = ¥88), in equilibrium, with no arbitrage opportuni
Alborosie

Answer:

So the exchange rate is that each dollar is worth 70.4 yens.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

1 euro is priced at $1.25

1 euro will also buy 88 Japanese yen

This also means that:

$1.25 is priced at 88 Japanese yen

How much is the cross rate between the yen and the dollar (yen per dollar exchange rate)?

How much yens is 1 dollar?

This can be solved by a simple rule of three.

$1.25 - 88 yen

$1 - x yen

1.25x = 88

x = \frac{88}{1.25}

x = 70.4

So the exchange rate is that each dollar is worth 70.4 yens.

First set up a proportion because they are similar triangles:
9/3x-20 = (72+9)/(56+3x-20)
9/3x-20 = 81/3x+36
9(3x+36) = 81(3x-20)
27x+324 = 243x-1620
1944 = 216x
x = 9
