Jane had some dimes and Sam had some nickels. Jane gave Sam a dime for every nickel that he gave her until Sam ran out of nickels. Sam now has 70 cents and Jane now has 75 cents. How many dimes did Jane start with

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of cents Sam has now  = 70 cents

The number of cents Jane has now  = 75 cents

Initially  Sam had only nickels, and Jane had only dimes.

Now, since Sam has $0.7

⇒ He holds 7 dimes.

⇒He gave away 7 nickels.

Also, Jane has $0.75

Now, 0.35 = 7 x (0.05)  = 0. 05 x 7 nickels

So, Jane now has 7 nickels and 4 dimes.

Hence, in total Jane initially had 11 dimes.

the answer is c. 23/3

plants store their excess carbohydrate in the form of starch so that it could be used as energy source later on. the excess carbohydrate is converted into starch in the plastid i.e. chloroplast & this process occurs in the presence of sunlight. it is an insoluble polymer of glucose which gets stored in cell organelles named as amyloplasts. in some plants, starch is also stored in roots and embryos.
