A bag of coins contains only quarters and dimes. The number of dimes in the bag can be represented by x. The number of quarters is 6 more than twice the number of dimes. There are a total of 276 coins in the bag. What is x, the number of dimes in the bag?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 90 coins in the bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]x[/tex], [tex]y[/tex] the number of dimes and quarters. Now we proceed to translate each relevant sentence into mathematical expressions:

(i) The number of quarters is 6 more than twice the number of dimes:

[tex]y = 2\cdot x + 6[/tex] (1)

(ii) There are a total of 276 coins in the bag:

[tex]x + y = 276[/tex] (2)

By applying (1) in (2), we find that the number of dimes is:

[tex]x+2\cdot x + 6 = 276[/tex]

[tex]3\cdot x = 270[/tex]

[tex]x = 90[/tex]

There are 90 coins in the bag.

The answer is 0.076 because 3.8% of 2 is 0.076

Answer:

0.076

Step-by-step explanation:

convert 3.8% to a decimal. (0.038)

2 x  0.038 = 0.076

0.076 ÷ 2 = 0.038

A store pays $81 for a hockey stick and marks the price up by 5%. What is the amount of the mark-up?

Answers

.05 is equal to 5%
So for every dollar the mark up is .05cents
So if you times $81 by .05 this will give you the mark up because each of the 81$ needs .05 added to it.

So $4.05 Is the mark up

1. x + 2x - 1 = 38
Inverse operation

Answers

Answer:

x=13

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you add the x's together: 2x+x=3x

Now you have:3x-1=38

Add 1 to both sides: 3x=39

1 cancel on the left side of the equation

Divide 3 on both sides: x=39/3

3 cancels on the left side and 39 divided by 3 is 13:

x=13

In your own words, what do the terms sales tax and discount mean? Is a 5 percent sales tax a percent of increase or decrease? What about a 15 percent discount?


lol help-

Answers

Answer:

Sales tax is an increase in the price of the item while a discount is the decrease of the price. A 5% sales tax is an increase since your paying an extra 5% of the item price. 15% discount is a decrease since your now only paying 85% of the original price. Hope that helps

Answer: In layman's terms, that means if the original price of something you sell was $100, but you offer a 50% discount, then the taxable price is $50. Sale Price = original price – (% of discount * original price)

Sales Tax = Sales Tax rate * Sale Price.

Sales Tax = 0.05 * $17.21 = $0.8605 = $0.86. How do I add 5% to a number?

Divide the number you wish to add 5% to by 100.

Multiply this new number by 5.

Add the product of the multiplication to your original number.

starts by subtracting the largest number of boxes she can easily
calculate. She knows that 100 boxes of 12 cookies can be put into
one crate. How many crates can be filled from the total of 3,258
cookies?

Answers

Answer:

271 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

3 crates are required for 3258 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

since the boxes can have 12 cookies each

number of boxes = number of cookies / number of cookies per box

number of boxes = 3,258 cookies / 12 cookies/box = 271.5 boxes = 272 boxes (271 completely filled and one halfway filled)

since each crate can hold 100 boxes

number of crates = number of boxes / number of boxes per crate

number of crates = 272 boxes/ 100 boxes/crate = 2,72 crates = 3 crates (2 completely filled and one 72% filled)

therefore the number of required crates for 3258 cookies is 3

Olivia filled 4 baskets of apples. Her friend filled up one additional basket of apples. if all of the baskets sold for a total of $160, how much money did each basket of apples cost?

Answers

Answer:

$32

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the question says that all the apples were sold for a total of $160, this means that you have to add the additional basket of the friend's to Olivia's. Since Olivia has 4 baskets of apples and her friend has 1, 4+1=5. Since you're trying to find the unit price for 1 basket, you take the total of $160 and divide it by 5 to find how much each basket of apples costed. Since 160/5 is 32, $32 is your answer.

Calculate the measure of ∠ PMU and ∠ UPM.

m∠ PMU =
m∠ UPM =

Answers

Answer:

you want to find angle PMB to find PMU

180-21-35= 124

so now, you subtract 180-124 to find PMU

180-124= 56

Now, subtract 56 and 62 from 180 to find angle UPM

180-56-62= 62

m< PMU = 56

m<UPM = 62

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that a triangle adds up to 180 degrees. Take 62+35 and subtract it from 180 to find angle P.

62+35=97

180-97=83

Knowing this you can find the two angles of P. You can subtract this number from 21 to find the unknown angle of P.

83-21=62(angle UPM)

Then do the same steps for finding the M angles

(Left Triangle)

62+62=124

180-124=56

(Right Triangle)

21+35=56

180-56=124

And because M intersects a straight line, the M angles should add up to 180.

56+124=180

Find the equation of the line parallel to -2x +y = 3, that passes through the point
(-3,-1). Write your answer in slope-intercept form. Do not use spaces in your
answer. Enter any fractions like a/b or -a/b.

Answers

Answer:

y=-2x-9

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert -2x+y=3 to an expression in slope-intercept form. This will be written as y=-2x+3.

Parallel lines have the same slope.

So, the slope of the new line will also be -2x.

Now, use the given coordinates and put them and the slope into point-slope form.

Point slope: y-y1=m(x-x1)

y+3=-2(x+3)

Finally, distribute -2 to (x+3) and simplify the equation.

y+3=-2x-6

y=-2x-9
