Answer:
50 nickels, 20 quarters.
Step-by-step explanation:
System of equations (q = # of quarters, n = # of nickels):
<em>q + n = 70, 0.25q + 0.05n = 7.50</em>
the first equation can be changed to q = 70 - n, so we are able to <em>substitute q with 70 - n</em>.
So, it will look like <em>0.25*70 - 0.25n + 0.05n = 7.50</em>. This can be simplified to <em>0.2n = 10</em>, which means that n = 50.
Knowing that we can solve <em>q + 50 = 70</em>, which means that q = 20.
3x+7=22
Subtract 7 to both sides
3x=15
Divide by 3
x=5
<span>Quincy
says that 3 is a good estimate for 3.4 X 0.09, is she correct? Why?
When we say estimates meaning it is not the exact answer but close to what is
the exact.
Now, if Quincy estimated 3 as the product of 3.4 * .09, then let’s check if she
has the correct estimates.
=> 3.4 estimates is 3
=> 0.09 estimates is 0.1
Now the answer is 0.3 and not 3.
Thus, Quincy’s estimate is wrong.</span>
Answer:
$1.53
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation of the change in the bill is shown below:
Total money he has to pay is
= $8.33 + $2.25
= $13.47
And, he have
= $10 + $5
= $15
So, the change would be
= $15 - $13.47
= $1.53
