The child has 6 dimes and 5 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let q and d represent the number of quarters and of dimes respectively.

Then q + d = 11 (Equation A), and ($0.25/quarter)q + ($0.10/dime)d = $1.85 (Equation B).

Multiply the 2nd equation by 100 to remove the decimal fractions:

25q + 10d = 185 (Equation C)

Now multiply the 1st equation by -10 to obtain -10q - 10d = -110 (Equation D), and combine this result with Equation C:

-10q - 10d = -110

25q + 10d = 185

15q = 75, and so q = 75/15 = 5.

According to Equation A, q + d = 11. Replacing q with 5, we get:

5 + d = 11, and so d = 6.

The child has 6 dimes and 5 quarters.

total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $98

step-by-step explanation:

given a united states citizen returning to the states declares the following items at the customs office: 3 shirts at $8.50 each 2 dresses at $27.50 each 1 pair of gold cuff links at $17.50 per pair. we have to find how much he pay

cost of 3 shirts if one cost at $8.50 is $3\times 8.50=$25.5$

cost of 2 dresses if one cost at $27.50 is $2\times 27.50=$55$

cost of 1 pair of gold cuff at $17.50

so, total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $25.5+$55+$17.50=$98

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

$ab^2+ac^2=bc^2$

$ab^2+ac^2=x^2$ )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

$\frac{ab}{bc}=\frac{bd}{ab}$

$ab^2=bc\cdot bd$

$25=bc\cdot bd$ (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

$\frac{ac}{bc}=\frac{cd}{ac}$

$ac^2=bc\cdot dc$

$7\times 7=bc\cdot dc$

$49=bc\cdot dc$ )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

$25+49=x^2$

$74=x^2$

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
