A bag contains 77 coins consisting of quarters and nickels. The total value of the coins is $12.50. Write a system of equations that can be used to determine the number of quarters, x, and the number of nickels, y, in the bag. a
x + y = 77
0.25x + 0.5y = 12.5

b
0.25x +0.5 y = 77
x + y = 12.5

c
x + y = 77
0.25x + 0.05y = 12.5

d
0.25x + 0.05y =77
x + y = 12.5

Marco is studying a type of mold that grows at a fast rate. he created the function f(x) = 345(1.30)x to model the number of mold spores per week. what does the 1.30 represent? how many mold spores are there after 4 weeks? round your answer to the nearest whole number. 1.30 represents the number of mold spores marco had at the beginning of the study; 985 mold spores 1.30 represents the number of mold spores grown in a given week; 448 mold spores 1.30 represents the 30% rate of weekly growth; 345 mold spores 1.30 represents the 30% rate of weekly growth; 985 mold spores

Christine wong has asked dave and mike to her move into a new apartment on sunday morning. she has asked them both, in case one of them does not show up. from past experience, christine knows that there is a 40% chance that dave will not show up and a 30% chance that mik a. what is the probability that both dave and mike will show up? (round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. what is the probability that at least one of them will show up? c. what is the probability that neither dave nor mike will show up? (round your answer to 2 decimal places.)e will not show up. dave and mike do not know each other and their decisions can be assumed to be independent.
