Mike, a Salvation Army bell ringer, has 20% as many quarters as nickels in his cup. If Mike has $6.00 in quarters and nickels, how many nickels does he have?

5.8 Nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x rep no of Nickels in Mike's cup

Then x - 0.2 = Number of quarters in Mike's cup

0.2x = Amount of money that mike has from the nickels

1 ( x - 0.2) = Amount of money that Mike has from the quarter

Then,

0.2x + 1 (x - 0.2) = 6

Expand the bracket

0.2x + x - 0.2x = 6

x = 6

Recall

x - 0.2 = 0

6 - 0.2 = 5.8

Therefore, Mike has 5.8 nickels for the quarter.

the answer is y < -3 or   y > 3

-3y > 7 + 2

-3 y > 9

y < -3

9 x 8 divided by (5-3)=36
