Answer:

B. seven $1 bills and eight $5 bills.

Step-by-step explanation:

n = number of $1 bills

m = number of $5 bills

 

Given:

 

n + m = 15

n($1) + m($5) = $47

 

Just solve 2 equations in 2 unknowns n and m:

 

(i)  n + m = 15

(ii) n + 5m = 47

 

Subtract (i) from (ii) and get

 

4m = 32

m = 32/4 = 8

 

Then from (i) get

 

n = 15 - m = 15 - 8 = 7

 

There are 7 $1 bills and 8 $5 bills.

*Given
Total number of bills    - 15
Total value of the bills - $47
Bills                             - $1 and $5

*Solution
Let:
  x - number of $1 bills
  y - number of $5 bills

1. The total number of bills comprising of $1 and $5 bills is 15. Thus, 

                         x + y = 15                                      (EQUATION 1)

2. The total value of the bills is $47. Thus, 
 
                   $1 (x) + $5 (y) = $47                           (EQUATION 2)

3. There are 2 ways to solve this (system of linear equations) mathematically. You can use the elimination method or the substitution method. Using the elimination method to eliminate the variable x... (subtract Equation 1 from Equation 2)

                    1x      +   5y      = 47
                 _
                    <u> x       +     y      = 15</u>
                     0       +   4y      = 32

4. Thus, the value of y, which is the number of $5 bills is, 

                    <u> 4y </u>      =  <u> </u><span><u>32 </u>
</span>                      4              4

                      y       =    8

5. The number of $1 bills (x) can then be solved using either Equations 1 or         2. Using Equation 1 to determine x, 
 
                         x + y = 15    
                               x = 15 - y
                               x = 15 - 8
                               x = 7

From the solution, we have determined that there are 8 pieces of $5 bills and 7 pieces of $1 bills.

How many times greater is the value of 5 in 3,590 than the value of 5 in 359 ?
Tresset [83]

Answer:

10 times greater is the value of 5 in 3,590 than the value of 5 in 359.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : How many times greater is the value of 5 in 3,590 than the value of 5 in 359 ?

Solution :

The place value stem is

Thousand     Hundred     Tens    Ones

  1000               100            10         1

The value of 5 in 3,590 is at hundred place

So, 5\times 100=500

The value of 5 in 359 is at tens place

So, 5\times 10=50

Number of time greater is the value of 5 in 3,590 than the value of 5 in 359 is given by,

n=\frac{500}{50}

n=10

Therefore, 10 times greater is the value of 5 in 3,590 than the value of 5 in 359.

If a variable has a distribution that is​ bell-shaped with mean 19 and standard deviation 7​, then according to the Empirical​ R
melamori03 [73]
The empirical rule says that approximately 68% of a normal distribution falls within one standard deviation of the mean. In this case, this would include all values of the variable in the interval (19-7,19+7)=(12,26).

Martinez purchased a pair of shoes on a web site. the original price of the shoes was $75. she used a coupon code to recive 20%
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

$9 or 9% less

Step-by-step explanation:

Original Price = OP

$75= OP

75 x .2 (20% discount) = 15

$15 discount

$75 - $15 = $60

$60 x .1 (service fee) = 6

$60 + $6= $66

Op ($75) - $66 = 9

$9 less than OP

How I check the percentage (probaly not how ur supposed to but ah well)

75 = 100%

75 + 25 = 100 but 25 more than 100%

66 + 25 = 91, also makes 75 100% again

100%-91%=9%
