Question

Jackson has $1.50 in quarters and dimes. Let x represent the number of quarters and y represent the number of dime. Find the domain and range of this situation.

Answer 1

Answer:

3 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: 0.10x + 0.25 = 0.80 (dimes are 10 cents or 0.10 dollars, quarters are 0.25 dollars)

Part B: Plug in what you DO know and solve the one you DON’T:

0.10x + 0.25(2) = 0.80

0.10x + 0.50 = 0.80. Subtract 0.50 from both sides:

0.10x = 0.30 (Divide both sides by 0.10)

x = 3
