Answer:
She will pay $1092.50 because .15x950 is 142.50 and if you add that to 950. you get $1092.50
First, we determine the speed of the ferry by dividing the distance by the time it took to cover that certain distance.
speed = (1/6) / (3/7)
speed = 7/18
Then, the distance it will travel for an hour is calculated through the procedure below.
distance = (7/18hour) x (1 hour)
distance = 7/18
Therefore, after an hour, the ferry will be able to travel 7/18 of the distance between two ports.
The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables.
We have then:
x: number of slices
y: total cost
We write the linear function that relates the variables.
We have then:

Then, we evaluate the number of slices to find the total cost.
-two slices cost:
We substitute x = 2 in the given equation:

Answer:
two slices = 2.2 $
-ten slices cost:
We substitute x = 10 in the given equation:

Answer:
ten slices = 11 $
-half a slice cost:
We substitute x = 1/2 in the given equation:

Answer:
half a slice = 0.55 $
So Maurice would have 2N nickels
Total number of coins is N + 2N + 9 = 3N + 9
Each nickel is 5 pennies
3N of nickels = 15N pennies
-----------
Their worth is 84 cents
15N + 9 = 84
15N = 75
N = 75/15 = 5
N = 5
This means Nina has 5 nickels.
