a. 46 & 52 b. 48 & 50 c. 44 & 54 d. 42 & 56
Let x = first even number ; y = x + 2 = second even number;
x + y = 98 ; subst. y = x +2 ;
x + (x + 2) = 98 ; 2x = 96 ; x = 48 ; y = 48 + 2 = 50
Note: We can get the answer to this problem without solving. The question says two consecutive
even numbers, so by elimination, only b. has consecutive even nos.

8. Steve has been saving the Dimes and Quarters out of his pocket change for two weeks. He then
notices that he has 53 coins for a total of $8.45. How many of each kind of coin does he have?
(Mixture Problem)
a. 31D/ 22Q b. 34D/ 19Q c. 33D/ 20Q d. 32D/ 21Q
x + y = 53 ; y = 53 x ; x (0.1) + y (0.25) = 8.45
Note: Penny=0.01/ Nickel-0.05/
0.1x + (53 - x)(0.25) = 8.45 ; 0.1x + 13.25 0.25x = 8.45 ; Dime=0.1/ Quarter=0.25
0.15x = 4.8 ; x = 32 dimes ;
y = 53 32 ; y = 21 quarters
