Diego is collecting dimes and nickels in a jar. He has collected $22.25 so far. The relationship between the numbers of dimes and nickels, and the amount of money in dollars is represented by the equation 0.10d+0.05n=22.25. Select the THREE values (d, n) that could be solutions to the equation. ( 0 , 445 ) ( 0.50 , 435 ) ( 233 , 21 ) ( 118 , 209 ) ( 172 , 101 )

Correct options are:

a) ( 0 , 445 )

d) ( 118 , 209 )

e) ( 172 , 101 )

Step-by-step explanation:

A nickel is worth 5 cents $0.05

A dime is worth 10 cents = $0.10

The relationship between the numbers of dimes and nickels, and the amount of money in dollars is represented by the equation 0.10d+0.05n=22.25. Select the THREE values (d,n) that could be solutions to the equation.

a) ( 0 , 445 )

b) ( 0.50 , 435 )

c) ( 233 , 21 )

d)( 118 , 209 )

e)( 172 , 101 )

Verifying the options

a) ( 0 , 445 )

0.10d+0.05n=22.25.

= 0.10(0) + 0.05(445) = 22.25

= 22.25 = 22.25

Options a) is correct

b) ( 0.50 , 435 )

0.10d+0.05n=22.25.

= 0.10(0.50) + 0.05(435) = 22.25

= 21.8 ≠ 22.25

Option b is incorrect

c) ( 233 , 21 )

0.10d+0.05n=22.25.

= 0.10(233) + 0.05(21) = 22.25

= 24.35 ≠22.25

Option c is incorrect

d) ( 118 , 209 )

0.10d+0.05n=22.25.

= 0.10(118) + 0.05(209) = 22.25

= 22.25 = 22.25

Option d) is correct

e) ( 172 , 101 )

0.10d+0.05n=22.25.

= 0.10(172) + 0.05(101) = 22.25

= 22.25 = 22.25

Option e) is correct
