If the value of n nickels plus d dimes is c cents, what is n in terms of d and c?
5n + 10d = c
5n = c - 10d
n = (c - 10d)/5
OMG THANK YOU REINY ITS CORRECT!!!!!!
My niece has been looking around randomness for curiosity, very smart li'l man, and came across the d, c & n one.
"Do they seriously not know that???
*nephew* sorry
Thanks
To find the value of n in terms of d and c, we need to understand the relationship between nickels, dimes, and cents.
1 nickel is equal to 5 cents, and 1 dime is equal to 10 cents.
Let's set up an equation to represent the given information:
n * 5 + d * 10 = c
Here, n represents the number of nickels, d represents the number of dimes, and c represents the total value in cents.
To isolate n on one side of the equation, we can rearrange it as:
n * 5 = c - d * 10
Next, divide both sides of the equation by 5:
n = (c - d * 10) / 5
Therefore, n in terms of d and c is:
n = (c - d * 10) / 5
