Answer:

4 coins

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's find out how much she gave the teller:

2($20)=$40

Now, let's find out how much change the teller owes her:

$40.00-$39.63=$0.37 or 37 cents

The largest coin (under 37 cents), is a quarter which is worth 25 cents...

37-25=12 cents

The largest coin (under 12 cents), is a dime which is worth 10 cents...

12-10=2

The largest coin (under 2 cents), is a penny which is worth 1 cent...

2-1=1

And one more penny...

1-1=0

Therefore the fewest amount of coins she can get in change are a quarter, a dime, and two pennies, which is 4 coins.

How do I solve this equation?

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

$y=\frac{7}{2}x+11$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we need to find the y-intercept (b). In order to find the y-intercept, we can plug in the slope and the (x,y) coordinate pair given to us into the equation to solve for the y-intercept:

y=mx+b

4=(-7/-2)*-2+b

4=14/-2+b

4=-7+b

Add 7 to both sides

b=11

Therefore the equation is:

$y=\frac{7}{2}x+11$ (note that the fraction is positive since the two negatives cancel out)

Find the number, if 5/7 of it is 15

Karolina [17]

Hey there! :D

Divide 15 by the numerator so we can find 1/7.

15/5= 3

3*7= 21

The number is 21.

I hope this helps!

What polygon is formed when 2 equilateral triangles that are congruent and share a side

zalisa [80]

You form a rhombus.

Draw an equilateral triangle, and then mirror it around its base. All the sides are clearly equal, because they are all sides of the same equilateral triangle.

Moreover, the top and bottom angle are 60°, because they are angles of an equilateral triangle, while the left and right angles are 120, because they're 60+60 angles.

grandma gigi gave leyla a rare purple stone for her sweet 16 birthday. at that time,the stone was worth$245. it has been increas

sergij07 [2.7K]

This is a compound interest problem, therefore s(t) should be in the form:
$s(t) = a(r)^{t}$

where:
t = time in years
s(t) = the value of your item after t years
a = the initial value of your item
r = rate

Therefore, we already know that a = 245$.

Now, we can calculate r:
$r^{t}=\frac{s}{a}$
$r = \sqrt[t]{ \frac{s}{a} }$
$r = \sqrt[5]{ \frac{560.50}{245} }$
= 1.18

Therefore, the correct answers are a = 245 and r = 1.18
