John has a jar filled with 150 coins made up of quarters and nickels. The total value of the coins is $26.70. How many quarters and how many nickels are in the jar? (Points : 1) 75 quarters; 75 nickels 96 quarters; 54 nickels 104 quarters; 46 nickels 54 quarters; 96 nickels
heres the equation q(0.25) + n(0.5) = 26.70
do you understand what to do?
not really multiply?
yes thats involved, but first you have to replace q and n with the answer choices q is quarters and n is nickels
example A is 75 quarters; 75 nickels so replace q and n in the equation 75(0.25) + 75(0.5) = 26.70
got it?
so A?
no thats just the first step
oh
75(0.25) + 75(0.5) = 26.70 what do you do next?
multiply?
ok do that
18.75 + 37.5
good, now add them
is the result 26.70?
no
ok then that means A is incorrect,you have to do this for all 4 choices. Would you like to try B on your own?
i wont give you the answer, cause this is easy, and if you learn it, you will find the answer quickly to these questions
okayyy
show me your work:)
23.75 + 27=...
50.75 so no
oh wait i just noticed a mistake i did, instead of multiplying by 0.5,multiply by 0.05, im sorry!!!!!
:/ omg lol
and uhm you got one wrong, instead of 23.75, it is 24
lol
ok so what is the answer?
c?
no the result of B
hello i said c i meant b are you there?
@HeatDude
q(0.25) + n(0.5) = 26.70 96(0.25) + 54(0.05) = 26.70 24 + 2.7 = 26.70 yes you are right, the answer is B, i knew you could do it xD
im going to refresh my page if your still there one sec
yeah refresh it
im back
thanks :)
i see you:D
now you know what to do, easy right?
Faith mixes 14 liters of 12% acid solution with a 30% acid solution which results in an 18% acid solution. If x represents the number of liters of 30% acid solution used, which equation can be used to find the number of liters of 30% acid solution in the mixture? (Points : 1) 1.68 + 0.3x = 0.18(x + 14) 2.52 + 0.3x = 0.12(x + 14) 4.2 + 0.18x = 0.3(x + 14) 1.68 + 0.18x = 0.3(x + 14)
I think A
yes you are correct
is there another question, i don't mind
thanks you
your welcome!
Fiona has a jar filled with 150 coins made up of quarters and nickels. The total value of the coins is $25.10. If x represents the number of quarters in the jar, which equation can be used to find the number of quarters? 0.25x + 0.05(x – 150) = 25.10 (Incorrect) 0.05x + 0.25(150 – x) = 25.10 (Incorrect) 0.05x + 0.25(x – 150) = 25.10 (Incorrect) 0.25x + 0.05(150 – x) = 25.10 (Correct)
you remember that one that was D, i thought it was D
i said D right?
no you said B
hmm wait one sec
but thanks anyway
did you put b as your answer?
if you did i am so sorry! :(
