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.

Answer:

1. d 2. d 3. a

Step-by-step explanation:

1. factor

((w-4)(w-6))/((w-5)(w-6))+8/(w-5)

solve

(w-4)/(w-5)+8/(w-5)

(w+4)/(w-5), so d

2.factor

((b+2)(b-4))((b+2)(b-1))-6/(b-1)

solve

(b-4)/(b-1)-6(b-1)

(b-10)/(b-1), so d

If the original quantity is 15 and the new quantity is 19, estimate the percent change.
eduard
To calculate percent change:
(difference between original and new)/original * 100
(19-15)/15 * 100 =
4/15 * 100 = 26.7 % increase
