​Algebra 1   State Test Practice

Create an equation

12/1/2017

 
Stephanie adds pennies, nickels, and quarters to a scale until the mass of the combined coins is 75 grams.  Each penny has a mass of 2.5 grams, each nickel has a mass of 5 grams, and each quarter has a mass of 5.7 grams.

Create an equation to model this situation, where x is the number of pennies, y is the number of nickels, and z is the number of quarters that Stephanie can put on the scale so that the mass of the combined coins is exactly 75 grams.

x = number of pennies
y = number of nickels
z = number of quarters


2.5x + 5y + 5.7z = 75   {mass of each coin times number of coins equals total mass}
