Remember that x/4 and 1/4*x is the same thing.
1/4*52 is therefore the same as 52/4. Fractions represent division, so 52 divided by 4 is also correct.
0.25*x is the same as 1/4*x because 1/4=0.25
4% of 52 is incorrect because the decimal form of 4% is 0.04, which is not the same as 0.25
Final answer: B
The principal will donate 1.50 for every dollar the fifth graders raise
Make a system of equations:
0.10x + 0.25y = 3.95
x + y = 23
x + y = 23
Subtract 'y' to both sides:
x = -y + 23
Plug in -y + 23 for 'x' in the first equation:
0.10(-y + 23) + 0.25y = 3.95
Distribute 0.10:
-0.10y + 2.3 + 0.25y = 3.95
Subtract 2.3 to both sides:
-0.10y + 0.25y = 1.65
Combine like terms:
0.15y = 1.65
Divide 0.15 to both sides:
y = 11
Plug this into any of the two equations to find 'x':
x + y = 23
x + 11 = 23
Subtract 11 to both sides:
x = 12
So Sally has 11 dimes and 12 quarters.
Where’s the picture or more context lol
