Jerome bought 2 postcards and received $1.50 in change in quarters,dimes. And nickels.The nickels, were worth $0.15.If he got 9 coins, back how many of each coin did he get

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Jerome got 5 quarters, 1 dime and, and 3 nickels.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the variables:

N = number of nickels he got

D = number of dimes he got

Q = number of quarters he got

We know that the nickels were worth $0.15

And each nickel is whort $0.05

Then:

N*$0.05 = $0.15

N = $0.15/$0.05 = 3

N = 3

Now we also know that there is a total of 9 coins, then:

N + D + Q = 9

3 + D + Q = 9

D + Q = 9 - 3 = 6

D + Q = 6

And we also know that the total change received is $1.50, then:

D*$0.10 + Q*$0.25 + N*$0.05 = $1.50

We know that N = 3, then we can replace that and get:

D*$0.10 + Q*$0.25 + 3*$0.05 = $1.50

D*$0.10 + Q*$0.25 = $1.50 - $0.15 = $1.35

D*$0.10 + Q*$0.25 = $1.35

Then we have two equations:

D + Q = 6

D*$0.10 + Q*$0.25 = $1.35

To solve this, we can isolate one of the variables in one of the equations, i will isolate D in the first one:

D = 6 - Q

Now we can replace this in the other equation:

(6 - Q)*$0.10 + Q*$0.25 = $1.35

Now we need to solve this for Q.

$0.60 - Q*$0.10 + Q*$0.25 = $1.35

Q*$0.15 = $1.35 - $0.60 = $0.75

Q = ($0.75)/($0.15) = 5

Q = 5

Then Jerome has 5 quarters.

Now we can return to the equation:

N + Q + D = 9

We already know that:

N = 3

Q = 5

Then if we replace those in the equation, we get:

3 + 5 + D = 9

8 + D = 9

D = 9 - 8 = 1

D = 1

A square fits exactly inside a circle with each of its vertices being on the circumference of the circle

Answers

Draw or sketch out any problems like this, otherwise they appear abstract.

A circle’s area can be calculated by (pi d^2)/4 We have an area of 56 cm (^2?), so

pi d^2 = 56 x 4 (or 224) d^2 = 224/pi, d = √(224/pi)

A circle circumscribed around a square has a diameter equivalent to the length of the square’s diagonal, so the square’s diagonal is √(224/pi) (same as the circle diameter…)

A square’s side can be calculated, knowing its diagonal length, by use of Pythagoras’ theorem… The diagonal √(224/pi) is squared, divided by two, since the square’s sides are all equal, and the resulting number’s square root is calculated.

Squaring √(224/pi), we get 224/pi, and dividing by two, we get 112/pi, which is 35.6507 (cm^2), and the square root is 5.9708 cm, the side of the square.

I cannot emphasize enough that a drawing or sketch is an invaluable tool for these tasks, it saves having to retain a “picture” in your head. Note that a calculator was not required up until the last moment, dividing 112 by pi, and finding the square root of that answer. Picking up the calculator too early obliges you to transcribe numbers from the calculator to paper, and that can lead to issues. Try to enjoy maths, see it as a challenge not a chore. (and use correct units!)

Since the two lines are parallel, Angle A is congruent to Angle D. Then, since Angle D is opposite Angle 3, we know that that Angle 3 and Angle D are congruent.

The width of a rectangular field is 20 feet less than its length. The area of the field is 12,000 ft? What is the length of the field?

80 ft
100 ft
120 ft
140 ft

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 120 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the field (A) is:

A = w · l       (w - width, l - length)

It is known:

A = 12,000 ft²

l = w - 20

So, let's replace this in the formula for the area of the field:

12,000 = w · (w - 20)

12,000 = w² - 20

⇒ w² - 20w - 12,000 = 0

This is quadratic equation. Based on the quadratic formula:

ax² + bx + c = 0      ⇒  

In the equation w² - 20w - 12,000 = 0, a = 1, b = -20, c = -12000

Thus:

So, width w can be either

or

Since, the width cannot be a negative number, the width of the field is 120 feet.

The length of the field is 120 feet.

Option C is the correct answer.

What is a rectangle?

A rectangle is a 2-D shape with length and width.

The length and width are different.

If the length and width are not different then it is a square.

The area of a rectangle is given as:

Area = Length x width

We have,

Let's start by using the given information to set up two equations:

Let x be the length of the field in feet.

Then, the width of the field is x - 20 feet.

The area of the field is given as 12,000 square feet:

x (x - 20) = 12,000

Expanding the left side of the equation, we get:

x² - 20x = 12,000

Bringing all the terms to one side, we get:

x² - 20x - 12,000 = 0

Now, we can solve this quadratic equation using factoring,

Completing the square, or the quadratic formula.

Here, we will use factoring:

x² - 20x - 12,000 = 0

(x - 120) (x + 100) = 0

The solutions are x = 120 and x = -100, but a negative length doesn't make sense, so we reject that solution.

Therefore,

The length of the field is 120 feet.

To check, we can substitute x = 120 into the equation for the width:

Width = x - 20 = 100 feet

Area = Length x Width

= 120 ft x 100 ft

= 12,000 sq ft

Thus,

The length of the field is 120 feet.

What are the variables and equations, and how do you solve?

Answers

Answer:

$55

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w = the no. of weeks

35 + 2.50w = amount you will have in the account after w weeks

115 - 7.5w = amount cousin will have in the account after w weeks

You need to set these expressions equal to each other.

35 + 2.50w = 115 - 7.5w     Multiply thru the equation

                                            by 10  to remove the fractions

350 + 25w = 1150 - 75w

100w = 800

w = 8 weeks

35 + 2.50w = 35 + 2.5(8) = 35 + 20 = $55

115 - 7.50w = 115 - 7.50(8) = 115 - 60 = $55

Answer:  x = (y-2)^2 + 5

In other words, y-2 goes in the first box and 5 goes in the second box.

=================================================

Work Shown:

y^2 - 4y - x + 9 = 0

y^2 - 4y + 9  = x

x = y^2 - 4y + 9

x = y^2 - 4y + 4 + 5 .... rewrite 9 as 4+5

x = (y^2-4y+4) + 5

x = (y-2)^2 + 5  .... apply the perfect square factoring rule

So we'll have y-2 go in the first box and 5 goes in the second box

A) workout the original price of the bracelet

a ring is now reduced to 840 pounds
this is a saving of 40% of the original price
b) workout the original price of the ring

Answers

Answer:

a) £600

b) £1400

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

original price = x

reduced price = £420

reduced price is 70% of original price

Since the discounted price, £420, is 70% of the original price, x, then

70% of x = 420

0.7x = 420

x = 420/0.7

x = 600

Answer: £600

b)

original price = x

discounted price = £840

discount percentage = 40%

The original price is x, and x is 100% of the original price since 100% is the whole amount. The discount is 40% of the original price. 100% - 40% = 60%. That means the discounted price is 60% of the original price.

60% of x = 840

0.6x = 840

x = 840/0.6

x = 1400
