There are some nickels dimes and quarters in a large piggy bank for every two nickels there are 3 dimes for every two dimes that

creativ13 [48]

We are given

piggy bank has nickels , dimes and quarters

Let's assume

number of nickels =n

every two nickels there are 3 dimes

so, number of dimes are

$=\frac{3}{2}n$

$=1.5n$

every two dimes that are 5 quarters there

so, number of quarters are

$=\frac{5}{2}\times 1.5n$

$=3.75n$

so, total number of coins = number of nickels + number of dimes +number of quarters

total number of coins =n+1.5n+3.75

there are 500 coins

so, we get

$n+1.5n+3.75n=500$

now, we can solve for n

$6.25n=500$

divide both sides by 6.25

so, we get

$n=80$

number of dimes is 1.5n

$=1.5\times 80$

$=120$

number of quarters is 3.75n

$=3.75\times 80$

$=300$

so,

Number of nickels =80

Number of dimes =120

Number of quarters =300............Answer

I rent a gym for $150.00 for 30 students. Another time I rent the gym for $270.00 for 70 students. I need to find a fixed rate.

masha68 [24]

Answer: y = 3x + 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up two equations and solve the system:

270 = 70x + b

- (150 = 30x + b)

120 = 40x

3 = x

Input "x" into one of the equations and solve for "b":

150 = 30x + b

150 = 30(3) + b

150 = 90 + b

60 = b

Equation: y = 3x + 60

This means that there is a flat fee of $60 plus a rate of $3 per student

kaheart [24]

In your problem:
p = 18.3% = 0.183
n = 130

The standard error can be calculated by the formula:
SE = √[p · (1 - p) / n]
= √[0.183 · (1 - 0.183) / 130]
= 0.0339

The standard error of the proportion is 0.034.

A painter is painting a wall with an area of 150 ft2. He decides to paint half of the wall and then take a break. After his brea

Novosadov [1.4K]

The answer is 141.35 ft²

Before the first break, it was painted:
150 ft² ÷ 2 = 75 ft²
Now it's left:
150 ft² - 75 ft² = 75 ft²

Before the second break, it was painted:
75 ft² ÷ 2 = 37.5 ft²
Now it's left:
75 ft² - 37.5 ft² = 37.5 ft²

Before the third break, it was painted:
37.5 ft² ÷ 2 = 18.75 ft²
Now it's left:
37.5 ft² - 18.75 ft² = 18.75 ft²

Before the fourth break, it was painted:
18.75 ft² ÷ 2 = 9.375 ft²
Now it's left:
18.75 ft² - 9.375 ft² = 9.375 ft²

Before the fourth break, it was painted:
9.375 ft² ÷ 2 = 4.6875 ft²
Now it's left:
9.375 ft² - 4.6875 ft² = 4.6875 ft²

Now, we will sum what he painted for now:
75 ft² + 37.5 ft² + 18.75 ft² + 9.375 ft² 4.6875 ft² = 141.3125 ft² ≈ 141.35 ft²

When the painter takes his fifth break, there will be 141.35 ft² of the wall painted.
