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

givi [52]

Answer:

The sum of five scores that is not the median is, 336

Step-by-step explanation:

Average defined as the  the sum of the observation to the total number of the observation.

Given: The sum of the five scores is 420

Then, by definition of average;

Average of five distinct score = \frac{420}{5} = 84

It is also, given that the average of five distinct scores has the same value as the median of the five scores.

⇒Median of five scores = 84

Since, scores are distinct, therefore

Sum of all scores that is not the median = Sum of five scores - median = 420-84 = 336

therefore, the sum of five scores that is not the median is, 336
