Dennis mowed his next door neighbors lawn for a handful of dimes and nickels, 80 coins in all. upon completing the job he counted out the coins and it came to 6.60. how many of each coin did he earn?

52 dimes and 28 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

n = number of nickels

d = number of dimes

n+d = 80   the number of coins he got

Multiply the number of nickels times .05 plus the number of dimes times .10 to equal the amount of money he got

.05n + .10d = 6.60

Divide this equation by .05

.05n/.05  + .10/.05 = 6.60/.05

n + 2d = 132

n+d = 80

Multiply by -1

-n-d=-80

Add this to n+2d = 132

n+2d=132

-n-d=-80

d = 52

Now we need to solve for n

n+d = 80

n+52 = 80

Subtract 52 from each side

n+52-52= 80-52

n = 28

so a parallelogram is just like a square base times height. multiply 40 and 39 to get 1560 inches.

a triangle is base times height divided by two. so multiply 7.9 and 5 and then divide it by 2 to get 19.75inches.

the kite can be split into two separate triangles and added together to get the total area. 30 x 4 /2 which equals 60. make sure to double it for the two triangles making 120.

7/2
