A container holds a combination of dimes and quarters. There are 178 coins in all, and their total value is $29.80. The system of equations models this situation, where x is the number of dimes and y is the number of quarters.x+y=178
0.1x+0.25y=29.8
How many dimes and quarters are in the container?

A.
123 dimes and 55 quarters

B.
114 dimes and 64 quarters

C.
102 dimes and 76 quarters

D.
98 dimes and 80 quarters

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

x+y=178

0.1x+0.25y=29.8

Solve x+y =178 for x

Add -y to both sides

x+y+-y=178+-y

x= -y+178

Substitute -y+178 for x in 0.1x+0.25y=29.8

0.1x+0.25y=29.8

0.1(-y+178)+0.25y=29.8

Simplify both sides of the equation

0.15y+17.8=29.8

Add -17.8 to both sides

0.15y+17.8+-17.8=29.8+-17.8

0.15y=12

Divide both sides by 0.15

0.15y/0.15= 12/0.15

y=80

Substitute 80 for y in x = -y+178

x= -y+178

x= -80+178

Simplify both sides of the equation

x= 98

Answer: D

x=98 and y= 80


I hope that's help !

Someone drove 20 miles in 24 minutes at this rate how many miles did they drive in 6 minutes

Answers

distance = rate * time (I will abbreviate as d = rt)
d = rt, so r = d/t 
r = 20mi/24min
= 0.833333 mi/min.

d = rt again for the new time
d = 0.8333333 mi/min * 6 min = 5 miles

The Quinn family drove 228 miles in 4 hours at a constant rate. Which equation can be used to determine how far they traveled each hour?

Answers

What can be used on this is the distance over time formula, so what you,do is divide 228 by 4 to get the distance traveled in one hour. And 288/4=57. So they traveled 57 mi in one hour. Hope this helped.
Okay, so all you would have to do is find the unit rate, and to do that, you would divide 4 INTO 228, (228 divided by 4), which would be 57, so they drive 57 miles PER HOUR.

at the bake sale the students earned $48.76. If there were 3 students, how much did each student earn?

Answers

Assuming each student was given equal compensation, take 48.76/3 = $16.25
All we need to do to answer this is divide the amount they made by 3 (the number of students).

48.75 ÷ 3 = 16.25

Check:- 
 
16.25 × 3 = 48.75

So, each student out of the 3 get $16.25 at the bake sale.

Hope I helped ya!!
