Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
d = number of dimes
2.80 = 0.1d + 0.25 (d + 8 )
2.80 = 0.1d + 0.25d + 2 Combine like terms
2.80 = 0.35d + 2 Subtract 2 from both sides
0.80 = 0.35d Divide both sides by 0.35
d ≈ 2.29
No, it's not possible to have more quarters than dimes when the total is $2.80 because it's not possible to have part of a dime.
Use easy numbers if you get confused on problems like these.
I'm going to use 12 instead of c.
Since you have 12 pieces of candy and 6 friends, each friend would get 2 pieces, because 12/6=2.
Now, substitute c for 12, and you get c/6.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
(3 + 12) - 3² + 8 · 2 ÷ 4
15 - 9 + 16 : 4
6 + 4

Answer:p
pn gv=0753vc
Step-by-step explanation:
For the entirety of this problem, p will represent a pair of pants and b will represent a bracelet.
Step 1) Set up equations for Destiny and Guadalupe
Destiny: 178 = 2p + 6b
Guadalupe: 155 = 3p + 2b
I will be using substitution to solve this problem, but elimination can also be used.
Step 2) Solve Destiny's equation for p
178 = 2p + 6b
178 - 6b = 2p
89 - 3b = p
Step 3) Substitute the found value of p from Destiny's equation into Guadalupe's equation and solve for b
155 = 3(89 - 3b) + 2b
155 = 267 - 9b + 2b
155 = 267 - 7b
-7b = -112
b = 16
Step 4) Use the value of b found in step 3, plug that back into our equation from step 2 and solve for p
89 - 3(16) = p
89 - 48 = p
p = 41
one pair of pants = $16
one bracelet = $41
Hope this helps!! :)
