Digit and Coin Problems Objectives: To use systems of equations to solve digit and coin problems
Example 1 The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 10. If the digits are reversed, the new number is 36 less than the original number. Find the original number. Let x = the tens digit 10x = the value of tens digit Let y = the ones digit 1y = the value of ones digit 2x - 4= 10 x + y = 10 Tens digit + ones digit = 10 2x= 14 When reversed value of tens digit=10y and ones digit = x 10y + x = 10x + y - 36 x= 7 Simplify 9y = 9x - 36 y = x - 4 y = x - 4 y = 7 - 4 1st equation x + y = 10 y = 3 x +(x – 4)= 10 substitute 2x - 4= 10 73
Practice The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 5. If the digits are reversed, the new number is 27 more than the original number. Find the original number.
Example 2 A collection of nickels and dimes is worth $3.95. There are 8 more dimes than nickels. How many dimes and how many nickels are there? Let n be the number of nickels. Let .05n =value of nickels. Let d be the number of dimes. Let .10d =value of dimes. 0.05n + 0.10d = 3.95 Value of nickels + value of dimes = $3.95 d = 8 + n The number of dimes is 8 more than the number of nickels Substitute 0.05n + 0.10(8 + n) = 3.95 Substitute d = 8 + 21 Simplify 0.05n + 0.80 + 0.10n = 3.95 d = 29 5n + 80 + 10n = 395 21 nickels 80 + 15n = 395 29 dimes 15n = 315 n = 21
Practice Rob has $2.85 in nickels and dimes. He has twelve more nickels than dimes. How many of each coin does he have?
Example 3 There were 166 paid admissions to a game. The price was $2 for adults and $0.75 for children. The amount taken in was $293.25. How many adults and how many children attended? Let a be the number of adults who attended Let c be the number of children who attended a + c = 166 Number of adults + children = 166 2a + 0.75c = 293.25 $2 times the # of adults + $0.75 times the # of children = $293.25 a + c = 166 Isolate one of the variables in the first equation a = 166 - c a + c = 166 1st equation 2(166 – c)+ 0.75c = 293.25 Substitute a + 31 = 166 Substitute 332 – 2c + 0.75c = 293.25 a = 135 332 - 1.25c = 293.25 135 adults - 1.25c = -38.75 c = 31 31 children
Practice The attendance at a school concert was 578. Admission cost $2 for adults and $1.50 for children. The receipts totaled $985.00. How many adults and how many children attended the concert?
