Answer:

40 quarters and 32 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Quarter = 25 ¢, number of quarters = q
Dime = 10 ¢, number of dimes = d
Total amount = $13.20 = 1320 ¢

<u>Required equations:</u>

q + d = 72
25q + 10d = 1320

<u>Solve by elimination, multiply the first equation by 10 and subtract from the second equation:</u>

25q + 10d - 10q - 10d = 1320 - 10*72
15q = 600
q = 600/15
q = 40

<u>Find p:</u>

40 + p = 72
p = 72 - 40
p = 32

Answer:

See attached picture to view the graph

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by analyzing how this average idea works:

If only one member goes to the trip, it will cost him/her $1000+$200 = $1200.

If two members go to the trip, then they will share the cost as per the following: ($1000+ $200 + $200 = $1400) which they will be dividing into two people, thus costing each of them $700.

Notice that the general function that represents such average will be given by: $f(x) = \frac{1000+200x}{x}$

Plot such function in the two dimensional plane, and you will get the asymptotic behavior shown in the attached image.

A book is in the shape of a right rectangular prism. It measures 8 1/2 inches tall, 7 inches wide, and 2 1/2 inches thick. What

Alenkasestr [34]

Hello!

The formula for volume of a rectangular prism is:

V = lwh

Let's convert the dimensions to decimals, and then use the formula to solve.

8 1/2 = 8.5 as a decimal.

7 = 7 as a decimal.

2 1/2 = 2.5 as a decimal.

Multiply:

V = 8.5 × 7 × 2.5

V = 59.5 × 2.5

V = 148.75

148.75 = 148 3/4 as a fraction because if you convert 3/4 to a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator, it equals 0.75.

ANSWER:

The volume of the book is 148 3/4 inches cubed.
