A boy has 11 coins in dimes and quarters. Their value is $170. How many of each does he have? (Hint: Let x be the number of quarters and 11 - x be the number of dimes.)​

x - number of dimes, y - number of quarters

x + y = 11

0.10 x + 0.25 y = 1.70

0.10 x + 0.25 ( 11 - x ) = 1.70

We can solve it:

0.10 x + 2.75 x - 0.25 x  = 1.70

0.15 x = 1.05

x = 1.05 : 0.15        

x = 7  ( a boy has 7 dimes and 4 quarters )

D ) 0.10 x + 0.25 ( 11 - x ) = 1.70

Step-by-step explanation:

75 tickets have been sold so far.

step-by-step explanation:

in this question it is clearly mentioned that 45 children's tickets have been sold and this number is 60% of the total tickets sold.

now let's assume the total number of tickets sold be x.

then 60% of x = 45

⇒

⇒ x(.6) = 45

by dividing with .6 on both the sides of the equation

⇒ x = 75

therefore 75 tickets have been sold so far.
