I would say A) is your answer.
This is my choice, so I might be wrong.
Glad I could help, and good luck!
you would first have to multiply 20% by 3.24 and then youll get 0.648 then you subtract 3.24 by 0.648 and get 2.60. Then multiply 20% by 3.99 and get 0.798 then subtract 3.99 by 0.798 and get 3.19 then add 2.60 with 3.19 to get 5.79. 5.79 is how much she spent with 20% off
Let d = number of dimes, q = number of quarters
<span>Sally has 20 coins in her piggy bank, so </span>
<span>d + q = 20 </span>
<span>The total amount of money is $3.05. </span>
<span>Use the value of each coin multiplied by its number to get total value </span>
<span>.10d + .25q = 3.05 </span>
<span>multiply everything by 100 to clear the decimal places </span>
<span>10d + 25q = 305 and </span>
<span>d + q = 20 </span>
<span>solve the second equation above in terms of either d or q - lets do d </span>
<span>d = 20 - q </span>
<span>sub that into the first equation </span>
<span>10d + 25q = 305 </span>
<span>10(20 - q) + 25q = 305 </span>
<span>200 - 10q + 25q = 305 </span>
<span>15q = 105 </span>
<span>q = 105/15 = 7 </span>
<span>and from above </span>
<span>d = 20 - q = 20 - 7 = 13 </span>
<span>so, there are 13 dimes and 7 quarters </span>
<span>verify with orig problem </span>
<span>13 + 7 = 20, OK, and $1.30 + $1.75 = $3.05

23/6
Now how many times does 6 go in 23 ???
The answer is 3 times
So, Remaining
= 23 - (6×3)
= 23- 18
= 5
So, the mixed fraction would be
= 3 5/6
