Bella has $0.66 worth of
pennies and
nickels. she has 6 more
nickels than
pennies. determine the
number of pennies
and the number of nickels that
bella has.

Work Shown:

$0.66 = 66 cents

n = number of nickels

p = number of pennies

n = p+6 because she has 6 more nickels than pennies

5n = total amount of money in cents from just the nickels

1p = total amount of money in cents from just the pennies

5n+1p = total amount of money of all the coins (nickels+pennies)

5n+1p = 66 cents

5n+p = 66

5(n) + p = 66

5(p+6) + p = 66 ... replace every n with p+6

5p+30+p = 66

6p+30 = 66

6p = 66-30

6p = 36

p = 36/6

p = 6

Bella has 6 pennies.

n = p+6

n = 6+6

n = 12

Bella has 12 nickels.

Check:

6 pennies = 6*1 = 6 cents

12 nickels = 12*5 = 60 cents

(6 pennies)+(12 nickels) = (6 cents) + (60 cents) = 66 cents = $0.66

12 nickels is 6 more than the number of pennies (6).

Answers are confirmed.

aloha~! my name is zalgo and i am here to you out on this gracious day. in order to compare the ratios easily, it is best that we simplify the question first. so, the cougars would have 6 wins for 5 losses, bobcats make 2 wins for 1 loss. bulldogs and tigers have a ratio where you can't simplify it. so, the team with the lowest rate would be the bobcats.

i hope that this ! : d

hi there!

first we need to find out how much they are adding to each number to make the next number.

ex: 4 + 4 = 8, 8 + 8 = 16, and so on.

so continuing with 32,

32 + 32 = 64

64 + 64 = 128

128 + 128 = 256

256 + 256 = 512

4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512

the 8th term of the sequence will be 512

hope this ! ~
