Let us bear in mind the equivalent value of these coins:
One dime = $0.10
One quarter = $0.25
Let x = number of dimes
y<span> = number of quarters</span>
Since the boy has 70 coins in total, we can say that:
<span>x + y = </span><span>70 </span>(can be written as x = 70 – y)
Since the boy has a total of $12.40, we can say that:
0.10x + 0.25y = 12.40
To solve this problem, we need to solve this system of equation. We have to substitute the value of x as written in the first equation (x = 70 –y)
0.10(70 – y) + 0.25y = 12.40
7 – 0.10y + 0.25y = 12.40
0.15y = 5.40
y = 36
X = 70 – 36
X = 34
Therefore,<span> the boys </span>has<span> 34 dimes and 36 quarters. To check our answer, we just have to check if his money would total $12.40.</span>
34 dimes = $3.40
36 dimes = $9.00
<span>Total </span><span>$12.40</span>
Well because 14 is nowhere near half of 950 (which is 475), 1/2 is bigger. I hope this helped.
Answer:
$1.80
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of a hot dog = x
The cost of a hot dog roll = y
Eight hot dogs and seven hot dog rolls cost $\$13.60$.
8x + 7x = $13.60..... Equation 1
Seven hot dogs and eight hot dog rolls cost $\$13.40$.
7x + 8x = $13.40...... Equation 2
Combining both Equation
8x + 7x = $13.60..... Equation 1
7x + 8x = $13.40...... Equation 2
Eliminating x
Multiply 1 by 7
Multiply 2 by 8
56x + 49y = 95.2..... Equation 3
56x + 64y = 107.2 ..... Equation 4
Subtracting 4 from 3
-15y = -12
y = -12/-15
y = 0.8
Cost of one hot dog roll = $0.8
Solving for x
8x + 7x = $13.60
8x + 7(0.8) = 13.60
8x + 5.6 = 13.60
8x = 13.60 - 5.60
8x = 8.0
x = 8.0/8
x = 1.
Cost of one hot dog = $1.0
The cost in dollars of a hot dog and a hot dog roll cost combined is
x + y
= $1 + $0.8
= $1.80
Answer:
ahhh......okay....but I can't see the question...or even the answer!!!
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3><u>
Answer:</u></h3>
<h3><u>
Step-by-step explanation:</u></h3>
<u>We can clearly see that the triangle is an isosceles triangle. This also means that y must equal to 180 - 115. Let's solve.</u>
- => x + y + 180 - 115 = 180
- => x + y + 65 = 180
<u>Since 180 - 115 equals 65, this means that </u><u>y = 65.</u>
- => x + 65 + 65 = 180
- => x + 130 = 180
- => x = 180 - 130
- => x = 50
<h3><u>Conclusion:</u></h3>
<u>Therefore, our answers are:</u>
Hoped this helped.
