I have 17 coins. n of them are nickels, and and the rest are dimes. Write an expression for the amount of money that I have
Let's assume that the value of a nickel is 5 cents and the value of a dime is 10 cents.
Since you have n nickels, the total value of the nickels is 5n cents.
The number of dimes you have is 17 - n, so the total value of the dimes is 10(17 - n) = 170 - 10n cents.
Therefore, the expression for the amount of money you have in cents is 5n + 170 - 10n.
WRONG, YOU IDIOT!
I apologize if my previous response was not what you were looking for. Please let me know what the correct expression should be, and I'll be happy to assist you.
JUST GIVE ME THE FREAKING ANSWER!
I have 17 coins. n of them are nickels, and and the rest are dimes. Write an expression for the amount of money that I have
I apologize for any confusion. The expression for the amount of money you have can be written as:
Expression: 0.05n + 0.10(17 - n)
In this expression, 0.05 represents the value of a nickel in dollars, and 0.10 represents the value of a dime in dollars. By multiplying the number of nickels (n) by the value of each nickel (0.05) and adding it to the product of the number of dimes (17 - n) and the value of each dime (0.10), you can calculate the total amount of money you have.
Sorry, but IT'S WRONG!
Apologies for the misunderstanding. Let me correct the expression for you.
Since the value of a nickel is 5 cents (0.05 dollars) and the value of a dime is 10 cents (0.10 dollars), the expression for the amount of money you have in dollars is:
Expression: 0.05n + 0.10(17 - n)
In this expression, n represents the number of nickels you have, and (17 - n) represents the number of dimes you have. By multiplying the number of nickels by the value of each nickel and adding it to the product of the number of dimes by the value of each dime, you can calculate the total amount of money you have.
WRONG! UGH!
Apologies for the confusion. Let's re-evaluate the problem.
If you have a total of 17 coins, with n of them being nickels and the rest being dimes, we can represent the number of dimes as (17 - n).
The value of a nickel is 0.05 dollars, and the value of a dime is 0.10 dollars. To calculate the total amount of money you have, you can multiply the number of nickels by their value (0.05 * n) and add it to the product of the number of dimes by their value (0.10 * (17 - n)).
Hence, the expression for the amount of money you have (in dollars) is:
0.05n + 0.10(17 - n)
The total amount of money will be the sum of number of coins multiplied by the value of each type of coin.
Total number of coins= 17
Number of nickles= n
Value of nickle= 5 cents
Number of dimes= 17-n
Value of a dime= 10 cents
Total amount of money = 5n+ 10*(17-n)
=5n+ 170 - 10n
= 170-5n
Total amount of money = (170-5n )cents
