Using a system of equations, it is found that there are 5 dimes and 9 quarters in his pocket.
<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>
A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.
In this problem, the variables are given as follows:
- Variable x: number of dimes in his pocket.
- Variable y: number of quarters in his pocket.
He has a total of 14 coins, hence:
x + y = 14 -> y = 14 - x.
They are worth $2.75, hence, considering the value of each coin(dimes $0.1 and quarters $0.25), we have that:
0.1x + 0.25y = 2.75
Since y = 14 - x:
0.1x + 0.25(14 - x) = 2.75
x = (0.25*14 - 2.75)/0.15.
x = 5.
y = 14 - x = 14 - 5 = 9.
There are 5 dimes and 9 quarters in his pocket.

Let
b-----------> the length side of the square box
h------------> the height of the box
SA---------> surface area of the box
we know that
[volume of the box]=b²*h
volume=256 in³
b²*h=256-------> h=256/b²-----> equation 1
surface area of the box=area of the base+perimeter of base*height
area of the base=b²
perimeter of the base=4*b
surface area=b²+(4*b)*h------> SA=b²+4*b*h-----> equation 2
substitute equation 1 in equation 2
SA=b²+4*b*[256/b²]-----> SA=b²+1024/b-----> SA=(b³+1024)/b
the answer is
the formula of the volume of the box is V=b²*h-----> 256=b²*h
the formula of the surface area of the box are
SA=b²+4*b*h
SA=(b³+1024)/b
The answer is 15.
30% of 60 = 18
45% of 60 = 27
27 + 18 = 45
60 - 45 = 15
