Q=quarters, d=dimes


q+d=8
.25q+.1d=1.25

Let's set the first equation to equal d.

d=8-q

.25q+.1(8-q)=1.25

Distribute.

.25q+.8-.1q=1.25

Combine Like Terms

.15q+.8=1.25

Subtract .8

.15q=.45

Divide by .15

q=3

Now, let's solve for d in the first equation.

d+3=8

Subtract 3, and you get d=5

So, there are 5 dimes and 3 quarters in Maribel's pocket.

Check: .25(3)+.1(5)=1.25

.75+.5=1.25
1.25=1.25 which is true.

For a certain map, the scale shows that 1 cm on the map equals 2.50 km on earth's surface. two towns on the map are 4.75 cm apar
Julli [10]
<span>In this problem, to find the answer we have to setup a series of ratios that relate the scale to real life distance. We know that 1cm = 2.50km, so that ratio would be 1cm/2.5km. For two towns that are 4.75cm apart on the map, we set a ration of 4.75cm/x km, where x is the actual distance. Now we set the ratios equal to each other and solve for x. 1/2.5=4.75/x where x = 4.75*2.5/1 = 11.875 and rounding up we get 11.88 km. The two towns are actually 11.88 km apart from each other.</span>

Dishwashers are on sale for 25% off the original price (d), which can be expressed with the function p(d) = 0.75d. Local taxes a
shutvik [7]

We are given the functions:

<span>P (d) = 0.75 d                                      ---> 1</span>

<span>C (P) = 1.14 P                                      ---> 2</span>

The problem asks us to find for the final price after discount and taxes applied; therefore we have to find the composite function of the two given functions 1 and 2. To solve for composite function of the final price of the dishwasher with the discount and taxes applied, all we have to do is to plug in the value of P (d) with variable d into the equation of C (P). That is:

C (P) = 1.14 (0.75 d)

C (P) = 0.855 d

or

<span>C [P (d)] = 0.855 d</span>

You cut off half of a strip of paper. then you cut half of the piece was left. then you cut half of the remaining piece.
lianna [129]

Answer:

The fraction of the original strip left is \frac{1}{8}.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that,

A strip of paper is cut in \frac{1}{2}. So, the strip of paper left is \frac{1}{2}.

Now, again the remaining part is cut in half. The part left will be  \frac{1/2}{2} i.e.  \frac{1}{4}.

Finally, the remaining part is again cut in half.

We get, the final part of the paper remaining is  \frac{1/4}{2} i.e.  \frac{1}{8}.

So, the fraction of the original strip left is \frac{1}{8}.
