Step-by-step explanation:

d = number of dimes

n = number of nickels

p = number of pennies

d×$0.10 + n×$0.05 + p×$0.01 = $10.75

d = p/4

d = n × 2/3

now we need to transform these equation and substitute the variable equations in the main equation, so that we have actually only one variable left. and that we can solve.

so, it seems to me transforming p and n into expressions of d might be the easiest one.

d = p/4

=>

p = 4d

d = n × 2/3

=>

3d = 2n

n = d × 3/2

so, now putting that into the main equation

d×$0.10 + (d × 3/2)×$0.05 + 4d×$0.01 = $10.75

since we have a fraction in there, let's multiply everything by that denominator (2) to be fraction free :

2d×$0.10 + 3d×$0.05 + 8d×$0.01 = $21.50

now we can simplify the terms by multiplying the integer factors of d into the value decimals

d×0.20 + d×0.15 + d×0.08 = 21.50

now we can simply add up ask the factors of d

d×(0.2 + 0.15 + 0.08) = 21.50

d×0.43 = 21.50

d = 21.5 / 0.43 = 50

p = 4d = 4×50 = 200

n = d × 3/2 = 50 × 3/2 = 25 × 3 = 75

so he has 50 dimes, 75 nickels and 200 pennies

Answer:

  • 200 pennies, 75 nickels, 50 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Pennies = p, penny = 1¢
  • Dimes = d, dime = 5¢
  • Nickels = n, nickel = 10¢
  • Total = $10.75 = 1075¢

<u>Equations:</u>

  • d = 1/4p ⇒ p = 4d
  • d = 2/3n ⇒ n = 1.5d
  • 1p + 5n + 10d = 1075

<u>Substitute p and n into third equation and solve for d:</u>

  • 4d + 5*1.5d + 10d = 1075
  • 21.5d = 1075
  • d = 1075/21.5
  • d = 50

<u>Find p and n:</u>

  • p = 4*50 = 200
  • n = 1.5*50 = 75

Answer:

  cos(x) = 0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find UQ.

  UQ = UP·cos(y°) = UP·√(1 -sin²(y°)) = (26 cm)√(1 -25/169) = (26 cm)(12/13)

  UQ = 24 cm

Then TQ is ...

  TQ = 1/3UQ = 1/3(24 cm) = 8 cm

And cos(x°) is ...

  cos(x°) = √(1 -sin²(x)) = √(1 -64/100)

  cos(x°) = 6/10 = 3/5

  cos(x°) = 3/5 = 0.6

While shopping at a clearance sale, Samantha finds a $60.00 dress on sale for 25% off. Samantha also has a 50% off coupon. Which
aksik [14]

Answer:

Samantha will save $37.50 because she must first find the 25% sale price before taking the extra 50% reduction

Step-by-step explanation:

Samantha will be offered the choice of using the coupon or the sale discount. If she chooses tht 50% coupon, her savings will be $30. If she chooses the marked sale discount, her savings will be $15.  

The scenario above assumes she gets 50% off the sale price of $45, so saves $15+22.50 = $37.50 off the original price.

The equation y-2= 5/4 (x + 8) represents the cost (in dollars) of making your own fruit juice (fluid ounces) a. What is the slop
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

a. The slope is 5/4

b. The equation in slope and intercept form is y = 5/4·x + 12

c. The base cost of making a fruit juice is $12

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that gives the cost in dollars of making your own fruit juice is given as follows;

y - 2 = 5/4·(x + 8)

a. The slope = The coefficient of x = 5/4

The slope = 5/4

b. The equation can be presented in slope and intercept form, y = m·x + c, as follows;

y - 2 = 5/4·(x + 8)

y = 5/4·x + 10 + 2

y = 5/4·x + 12

c. The base cost of making a fruit juice = The cost added to any quantity of fruit, x made = The y-intercept, c = 12

The base cost of making a fruit juice = $12.
