A pile of coins, consisting of nickels, dimes, and quarters is worth $4.55. There are 4 more dimes than nickels, and 3 more quarters than dimes. How many of each are there?
Let x be the number of nickels.
There are x + 4 dimes.
There are (x + 4) + 3 = x + 7 quarters.
The value of the nickels is .05x.
The value of the dimes is .10(x + 4) = .10x + .40.
The value of the quarters is .25(x + 7) = .25x + 1.75.
The total value of the pile of coins is .05x + .10x + .40 + .25x + 1.75 = 4.55.
Combining like terms, we get .40x + 2.15 = 4.55.
Subtracting 2.15 from both sides, we get .40x = 2.40.
Dividing both sides by .40, we get x = 6.
There are x + 4 = <<6+4=10>>10 dimes.
There are x + 7 = <<6+7=13>>13 quarters.
Thus, there are 6 nickels, 10 dimes, and 13 quarters. Answer: \boxed{6, 10, 13}.
There are x + 4 dimes.
There are (x + 4) + 3 = x + 7 quarters.
The value of the nickels is .05x.
The value of the dimes is .10(x + 4) = .10x + .40.
The value of the quarters is .25(x + 7) = .25x + 1.75.
The total value of the pile of coins is .05x + .10x + .40 + .25x + 1.75 = 4.55.
Combining like terms, we get .40x + 2.15 = 4.55.
Subtracting 2.15 from both sides, we get .40x = 2.40.
Dividing both sides by .40, we get x = 6.
There are x + 4 = <<6+4=10>>10 dimes.
There are x + 7 = <<6+7=13>>13 quarters.
Thus, there are 6 nickels, 10 dimes, and 13 quarters. Answer: \boxed{6, 10, 13}.
I spent 3/4 of my money, and then I spent 1/5 of what was left. What part of all my money did I spend?
To find the amount of money spent, you need to calculate the total amount spent, which is the sum of the amounts spent in each step.
Let's say you started with $100 (you can assume any amount for simplicity).
Step 1: You spent 3/4 of your money, so you spent 3/4 * $100 = $75.
Now, you have $100 - $75 = $25 left.
Step 2: You spent 1/5 of what was left, so you spent 1/5 * $25 = $5.
The total amount you spent is $75 + $5 = $80.
To find the part of all your money that you spent, you divide the total amount spent ($80) by the initial amount you started with ($100) and multiply by 100 to express it as a percentage.
Part spent = ($80 / $100) * 100 = 80%.
Therefore, you spent 80% of all your money.
Let's say you started with $100 (you can assume any amount for simplicity).
Step 1: You spent 3/4 of your money, so you spent 3/4 * $100 = $75.
Now, you have $100 - $75 = $25 left.
Step 2: You spent 1/5 of what was left, so you spent 1/5 * $25 = $5.
The total amount you spent is $75 + $5 = $80.
To find the part of all your money that you spent, you divide the total amount spent ($80) by the initial amount you started with ($100) and multiply by 100 to express it as a percentage.
Part spent = ($80 / $100) * 100 = 80%.
Therefore, you spent 80% of all your money.
I spent 3/4 of my money, then I spent 1/5 of what was left. What part of all my money do I have left?
To find the part of all your money that you have left, you need to calculate the remaining amount after each step.
Let's assume you started with $100 (you can assume any amount for simplicity).
Step 1: You spent 3/4 of your money, so you spent 3/4 * $100 = $75.
Now you have $100 - $75 = $25 left.
Step 2: You spent 1/5 of what was left, so you spent 1/5 * $25 = $5.
Now you have $25 - $5 = $20 left.
To find the part of all your money that you have left, you divide the remaining amount ($20) by the initial amount you started with ($100) and multiply by 100 to express it as a percentage.
Part left = ($20 / $100) * 100 = 20%.
Therefore, you have 20% of all your money left.
Let's assume you started with $100 (you can assume any amount for simplicity).
Step 1: You spent 3/4 of your money, so you spent 3/4 * $100 = $75.
Now you have $100 - $75 = $25 left.
Step 2: You spent 1/5 of what was left, so you spent 1/5 * $25 = $5.
Now you have $25 - $5 = $20 left.
To find the part of all your money that you have left, you divide the remaining amount ($20) by the initial amount you started with ($100) and multiply by 100 to express it as a percentage.
Part left = ($20 / $100) * 100 = 20%.
Therefore, you have 20% of all your money left.
I am F years old, and my brother is B years older. What was the difference of our ages two years ago?
Two years ago, you would have been F - 2 years old, and your brother would have been (F + B) - 2 years old.
The difference in your ages two years ago would be (F + B) - 2 - (F - 2), which simplifies to (F + B - 2 - F + 2), and further simplifies to B.
Therefore, the difference in your ages two years ago is B.
The difference in your ages two years ago would be (F + B) - 2 - (F - 2), which simplifies to (F + B - 2 - F + 2), and further simplifies to B.
Therefore, the difference in your ages two years ago is B.
Jilla ran at a speed of m miles per hour. How far did she run in t minutes?
To find how far Jilla ran in t minutes, you first need to convert t minutes to hours. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, you divide t by 60 to get t/60 hours.
Next, you multiply the speed, m miles per hour, by the time in hours, t/60 hours.
Distance = Speed x Time
Distance = m miles/hour * (t/60) hours
This simplifies to:
Distance = (mt) / 60 miles
Therefore, Jilla ran (mt) / 60 miles in t minutes.
Next, you multiply the speed, m miles per hour, by the time in hours, t/60 hours.
Distance = Speed x Time
Distance = m miles/hour * (t/60) hours
This simplifies to:
Distance = (mt) / 60 miles
Therefore, Jilla ran (mt) / 60 miles in t minutes.
Wrong.
I apologize for the incorrect response.
To find the distance Jilla ran in t minutes, we need to convert the time from minutes to hours. Since there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, we divide t by 60 to obtain the time in hours: t/60.
Next, we multiply the speed, m miles per hour, by the time in hours, t/60, to find the distance: (m * (t/60)) miles.
Therefore, Jilla ran a distance of (m * (t/60)) miles in t minutes.
To find the distance Jilla ran in t minutes, we need to convert the time from minutes to hours. Since there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, we divide t by 60 to obtain the time in hours: t/60.
Next, we multiply the speed, m miles per hour, by the time in hours, t/60, to find the distance: (m * (t/60)) miles.
Therefore, Jilla ran a distance of (m * (t/60)) miles in t minutes.
Also wrong.
I apologize once again for the mistake. I misunderstood the question.
To find the distance Jilla ran in t minutes, we need to convert the time from minutes to hours by dividing t by 60. This gives us a time of t/60 hours.
Since Jilla's speed is given in miles per hour, we need to convert the time to hours in order to match the units.
Next, we multiply the speed, m miles per hour, by the time in hours, t/60, to find the distance in miles:
Distance = (m miles/hour) * (t/60) hours
This simplifies to:
Distance = (m * t) / 60 miles
Therefore, Jilla ran a distance of (m * t) / 60 miles in t minutes. Thank you for pointing out the error.

Good, that is right.
Thank you for confirming. I apologize for the initial mistakes, and I'm glad to have provided the correct answer. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
If the value of n nickels plus d dimes is c cents, what is n in terms of d and c?
To find the value of n in terms of d and c, we need to consider the value of each coin.
The value of a nickel is 5 cents, and the value of a dime is 10 cents.
So if we have n nickels, the value of those nickels would be 5n cents.
Similarly, if we have d dimes, the value of those dimes would be 10d cents.
According to the given information, the value of n nickels plus d dimes is c cents.
Therefore, we can write the equation: 5n + 10d = c.
To find n in terms of d and c, we can rearrange this equation:
5n = c - 10d
Dividing both sides of the equation by 5, we get:
n = (c - 10d) / 5
Thus, n is equal to (c - 10d) divided by 5, in terms of d and c.
The value of a nickel is 5 cents, and the value of a dime is 10 cents.
So if we have n nickels, the value of those nickels would be 5n cents.
Similarly, if we have d dimes, the value of those dimes would be 10d cents.
According to the given information, the value of n nickels plus d dimes is c cents.
Therefore, we can write the equation: 5n + 10d = c.
To find n in terms of d and c, we can rearrange this equation:
5n = c - 10d
Dividing both sides of the equation by 5, we get:
n = (c - 10d) / 5
Thus, n is equal to (c - 10d) divided by 5, in terms of d and c.
To sew tablecloths for the school dance, Mrs. Stitcher four more than three times as many yards of red fabric as gold fabric. If she bought a total of 112 yards, how many yards of each color did she buy?
Let's say Mrs. Stitcher bought x yards of gold fabric.
She bought four more than three times as many yards of red fabric as gold fabric, which can be expressed as 3x + 4.
The total amount of fabric she bought is the sum of the gold and red fabric, which is x + (3x + 4) = 112.
Combining like terms, we get 4x + 4 = 112.
Subtracting 4 from both sides, we get 4x = 108.
Dividing both sides by 4, we get x = 27.
Therefore, Mrs. Stitcher bought 27 yards of gold fabric and 3(27) + 4 = 85 yards of red fabric.
She bought four more than three times as many yards of red fabric as gold fabric, which can be expressed as 3x + 4.
The total amount of fabric she bought is the sum of the gold and red fabric, which is x + (3x + 4) = 112.
Combining like terms, we get 4x + 4 = 112.
Subtracting 4 from both sides, we get 4x = 108.
Dividing both sides by 4, we get x = 27.
Therefore, Mrs. Stitcher bought 27 yards of gold fabric and 3(27) + 4 = 85 yards of red fabric.
On her way to her grandmas house, J traveled three times as many miles by train as by bus. She traveled four times as many miles as by bus as by foot. If J traveled 34 miles in all, how many miles did she travel by train?
Let's say J traveled x miles by foot.
Then, J traveled 4x miles by bus.
And J traveled 3(4x) = 12x miles by train.
The total distance traveled is the sum of the distances traveled by foot, bus, and train:
x + 4x + 12x = 34
Combining like terms, we get 17x = 34.
Dividing both sides by 17, we get x = 2.
Therefore, J traveled 12x = 12(2) = 24 miles by train.
Then, J traveled 4x miles by bus.
And J traveled 3(4x) = 12x miles by train.
The total distance traveled is the sum of the distances traveled by foot, bus, and train:
x + 4x + 12x = 34
Combining like terms, we get 17x = 34.
Dividing both sides by 17, we get x = 2.
Therefore, J traveled 12x = 12(2) = 24 miles by train.
