Answer: D. n + q = 20

5n + 25q = 300

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the number of nickels that you have.

Let q represent the number of quarters that you have.

Suppose you have 20 coins. It means that

n + q = 20

The total value of the coins is $3. The value of a quarter is $0.25 and the value if a nickel is $0.05. Therefore, the equation would be

0.05n + 0.25q = 3

Multiplying both sides of the equation by 100, it becomes

5n + 25q = 300

The correct option is

D. n + q = 20

5n + 25q = 300

It takes one machine 25 minutes to pick a bale of cotton and another machine 30 minutes to compete the same job. If both machine
gladu [14]
The first machine works at the rate x = 1 bale/ 25 min.
The second machine works at the rate y = 1 bale/30 min.

The combined rate is
x + y = 1/25 + 1/30 bales/min
         = (30 + 25)/(25*30) = 55/750
         = 11/150 bales/min

The time for both machines to pick 1 bale of cotton is
(1 bale)/(11/150 bales/min) = 150/11 min = 13.64 min

Answer: 13.6 minutes

An afterschool program offers tutoring for different subjects during the last month, a teacher recorded the number of students w
Tasya [4]
I’m not exactly sure, but I think you have to find the percentage of the people in the math tutoring compared to the total. You can do this by finding the total number of people, which would be 200, and then dividing 40 by 200, to get 20%, so 20% of the total students participated in the math tutoring. So, using this logic, 20% of 100 is 20, so 20 students would go to math tutoring if there was a total of 100 students
