Answer:

  • 39 quarters and 41 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of quarters be x and nickels be y.

<u>Given:</u>

  • Quarter is 25 cents
  • Nickel is 5 cents
  • Number of coins is 80
  • Total amount is $11.80 = 1180 cents

<u>We have equations:</u>

  • x + y = 80
  • 25x + 5y = 1180

<u>Solve the system by elimination, subtract 5 times the first equation from the second one:</u>

  • 25x + 5y - 5x - 5y = 1180 - 80*5
  • 20x = 780
  • x = 780/20
  • x = 39

<u>Find the value of y:</u>

  • 39 + y = 80
  • y = 80 - 39y = 41

<u>Verify:</u>

  • 25*39 + 5*41 = 975 + 205 = 1180

Vlada [557]

23

%

=

23

100

=

0.23

First we have to think that the symbol

%

=

1

100

so that

23

%

=

23

⋅

(

1

100

)

this is read twenty three percent is equal to twenty three multiplied by one divided by one hundred.

the result is the fraction

23

100

Now, to convert to decimal, simply divide 23 by 100

23

÷

10

=

2.3


and

2.3

÷

10

=

0.23

this is the same as

23

÷

100

=
