5 times,

220 - 140 = 80

80 divided by 16 equals 5.

to double check, you can do 5 x 16 to get 80.

Answer:

You need to sell 5 items in order to pay for a week at camp.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost for a week at camp = $220

You have = $140 and you earn $16 for even item you sell.

Let "x" be the number of items to be sell.

16x + 140 = 220

Let's solve for x.

Subtract 140 from both sides,

16x + 140 - 140 = 220 - 140

16x = 80

Divide both sides by 16.

\frac{16x}{16} = \frac{80}{16}

x = 5

So, you need to sell 5 items in order to pay for a week at camp.

Sasha has 3.20 in U.S. coins. She has the same number of quarters and nickels. What is the greatest number of quarters she could
RSB [31]

Answer:

10 quarters = $2.50

10 nickels = $0.50

that leaves $0.20 for other coins (dimes / pennies)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, suppose she has only quarters and nickels and no other coins.  Then if C is the identical number of coins of each type, then 5C + 25C = 320, so 30C = 320 and 3C = 32, but there is no integer solution to this.  So she must have at least one other type of coin.

Assume she has only quarters, nickels, and dimes.  Then if D is the number of dimes, 5C +  25C + 10D = 320, which means 30C + 10D = 320, or 3C + D = 32.  The smallest D can be is 2, leaving 3C = 30 and thus C = 10.  So in this scenario she would have 10 quarters, 10 nickels, and two dimes to make $2.50 + $0.50 + $0.20 = $3.20.

This has to be the highest number, because if she had 11 quarters and 11 nickels, that alone would add up to 11(0.25) + 11(0.05) = $3.30, which would already be too much.
