Answer:

  • 132 pennies
  • 31 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

If all of Brent's coins were pennies, their value would be 1.63. The value is actually 4.42 -1.63 = 2.79 more than that. Replacing a penny by a dime increases the value by .09. Hence there must be 2.79/.09 = 31 replacements.

Brent has 31 dimes and 132 pennies.

_____

<em>Solution using an equation</em>

You can write an equation that solve the problem in basically the same way. Let the variable represent the number of coins of highest value: d = dimes. Then the value (in cents) of the collection is ...

  1(163-d) +10d = 442

  9d +163 = 442 . . . . . . . . . . simplify (note 9 is the difference in value; 163 is the value of all pennies)

  9d = 442 -163 = 279 . . . . . . subtract 163

  d = 279/9 = 31 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 9

Brent has 31 dimes and 163-31 = 132 pennies.

Vesna [10]

Answer:

0.0816

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • Total number of students = 5000
  • Number of students taking an online class = 1200
  • Number of students prefer watching baseball to football = 1700

Let O = Students taking an online class

Let B = Students prefer watching baseball to football

Therefore,

P(O) = 1200/5000 = 0.24

P(B) = 1700/5000 = 0.34

If events O and B are independent,

⇒ P(O ∩ B) = P(O) · P(B)

                   = 0.24 × 0.34

                   = 0.0816
