You have a piggy bank containing a total of 106 coins in dimes and quarters. If the piggy bank contains $17.05, how many dimes are there in the piggy bank? There are how many dimes in the piggy bank.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

63 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a system of equations where d is the number of dimes and q is the number of quarters:

d + q = 106

0.1d + 0.25q = 17.05

Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by -0.25 to eliminate q:

-0.25d - 0.25q = -26.5

0.1d + 0.25q = 17.05

Add together and solve for d:

-0.15d = -9.45

d = 63

So, there were 63 dimes in the piggy bank

Suppose that the weather forecast indicates a 10% chance that cold weather will reduce the citrus grower’s profit from $100,000 to $85,000 and a 10% chance that cold weather will reduce the profit to $75,000. Should the grower spend $5000 to protect the citrus fruit against the possible bad weather?

Answers

Answer:

We can think in this situation as:

There is 10% (or a probability equal to 0.1) where the citrus grower's profit will be reduced by $15,000

There is 10% (or a probability equal to 0.1) where the citrus grower's profit will be reduced by $25,000

And in the remaining 80% (or a probability equal to 0.8), the profit does not change.

Then the expected value for the total profit can be written as:

EV = $100,000 + ( 0.1*(-$15,000) + 0.1*(-$25,000) + 0.8*$0)

     =  $96,000

In the case where the citrus grower spends $5000 to protect the fruits against possible bad weather, there is a 100% that is profit will not change, but he must pay $5,000

Then his profit will be:

P = $100,000 - $5,000 = $95,000

So in this case, the profit is $1000 less than the expected profit in the prior case. So the scenario where he does not buy the protection has a larger expected profit, which may mean that is better to not buy it (in a straight mathematical point of view)

One also could think that  the values are really close together, so buying the protection does not mean a big change, and increases the security

A farmer decided to put a fence around his property that measures 170 feet long and 120 feet wide. What is the perimeter of his property?

Answer: Its 10, so plot it on 10 in the number line

Step-by-step explanation: Since the subtraction signs cancel out, they make a addition sign. Henceforth its " 3+5+2" which would mean the sum is 10.

In the checksums, you validated that the average SAT score for all of the records is 1,059.07. When we work with the data more rigorously, several tests will require us to transform NULL values. If you were to transform the NULL SAT values into 0, what would happen to the average (would it stay the same, decrease, or increase?

Answers

Answer:

It would decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

The null almost always acts like a placeholder where there is nothing to record for that entry, we can say that it is a dummy character.

The difference between null and zero is that zero has a value in a context whereas null does not have any value.

So given the example in the question, if we replace the null values with zeros, that would affect the average because of the fact that zero values are going to get included in the average, null values were not included. Therefore this will result in the average being decreased.

Adult tickets for the movies are $11.50 each and child tickets are $8.75 each. How much would a family with 3 adults and 5 children pay for their tickets? (Multi-Step)

Answers

Answer:

$78.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Each adult = $11.50

Each child = $8.75

3 adults and 5 children

(11.50 x 3) + (8.75 x 5)

34.5 + 43.75 = $78.25

11.50 x 3 = 34.50

8.75 x 5 = 43.75

34.50 + 43.75 = 78.23

$78.23
