She has 2 dimes and 4 nickels.
Knowing dimes equal 10 cents, if you have 1 dime and 3 nickels, you’d have 20 cents, 2 dimes and 4 nickels you’d have 40 cents. You have to have two more nickels than dimes.
So here you are trying to find out what times .30 (30%) subtracted the original price will give you 18.75. Because it is 30% discount you want to use 70% (.7) so that you can find the price before not the price after.
so .7(x) = 18.75
Which you then divide and then get 26.79 dollars.
<span>Bob should by the 25cm cake for 18.75 each. He will need to buy 3 of these cakes in order to feed 57 guests. The total cost would be 56.25. If he were to buy the 20cm cake, he would need to purchase 5 cakes for a total of 67.50.</span>

Answer:
1 1/8 or 9/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up a proportion. The proportion will be teaspoons of chili powder over pound of vegetables.
The first proportion will be..
x is 3/4 and y is 1/2. Across from that proportion make another one
x is "n" because you're trying to figure out how much chili powder you need. y is 1 3/4.
Multiply 3/4 and 1 3/4, which is 9/16. Then, divide 9/16 and 1/2, which is 9/8. Simplify it to 1 1/8, and Maxwell will need 1 1/8 teaspoons of chili powder.
Hope this wasn't too confusing :)
