A bag contains pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. There are 50 coins in all. Of the coins, 16% are pennies and 42% are dimes. There are 4 more nickels than pennies. How much money does the bag contain

hello :

by applying the distributive property :

6 × 4.3 = 6 × ( 4 + 0.3 )

            =   (6 ×   4) + (6 ×   0.3)

            = 24 + 1.8

6 × 4.3 = 25.8

im not sure of the names, but the answer is 48

  b:   ∠x = 28.6°, ∠y = 31.2°, ∠z = 120.2°

step-by-step explanation:

this is one of those questions where "test taking skill" is all you need. the only answer that has angles that sum to 180° is the one shown above. the remaining choices do not describe the angles of a triangle.

if you want to do more work than simply adding the offered numbers, you can also check them against the law of sines. it should be true that

  x/sin(x) = y/sin(y) = z/sin(z)

and all of these ratios must be greater than 15, the longest side length.

if you want to solve the triangle from scratch, i'd suggest solving for the largest angle using the law of cosines.

  z² = x² +y² -2xy·cos(z)

  z = arccos((x² +y² -z²)/(2xy)) = arccos(-75.11/149.4) = 120.182°

now you can find y from the law of sines

  y = arcsin(y/z·sin(z)) = 31.242°
