x + y = 20
3.1x + 2.5y = 61.16
so from the first equation move the y to the other side
x = -y + 20
Substitute into the second equation
3.1(-y + 20) + 2.5y = 61.16
-3.1y + 62 + 2.5y = 61.16
-.6y = -.84
y = 14
so x will be 6
To determine the number of pennies in 72 pounds, we first need to know the weight of a single penny. A U.S. penny weighs approximately 2.5 grams, which is equal to 0.00551156 pounds. By dividing 72 pounds by the weight of a single penny, we can calculate that there are approximately 13,055 pennies in 72 pounds.
No. A penny is made out of copper-plated zinc.
The weight of a single penny is approximately 2.5 grams, or 0.00551156 pounds. Therefore, 8 pounds of pennies would be equivalent to approximately 1450 pennies (8 / 0.00551156). In terms of monetary value, each penny is worth $0.01, so 1450 pennies would be equal to $14.50.
It depends on which country we are talking about. For the US, there is only one magnetic coin the 1943 steel penny. For Canada, there have been some magnetic pennies made since 2000, though there were zinc pennies made until 2008. For the UK, pennies have been magnetic (copper plated steel) since 1992.
The pre-1982 pennies are 95% copper and 5% zinc. Post-1982 cents are 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper.
8.869 grams per cubic centimeter approximately. Some 1982 pennies are made of bronze alloy (pre1982) and some are copper plated zinc (post 1982). The change was made at the beginning of 1982 after some pennies had already been struck.
Pre-1982 copper pennies weigh 3.11 grams. Pennies made since then are mostly zinc and weigh 2.5 grams.
3.11 grams for pennies made from 1959 to 1982
Copper pennies minted before 1982 weigh 3.11 grams.
1982 is the year the composition was changed from copper to zinc. The copper version weighs 3.1 grams, and the zinc version weighs 2.5 grams.
In 1982 the US mint changed the composition of the penny from mostly copper to zinc which changed the weight form 3.11 grams to 2.5 grams and made the penny cheaper to make.
The one cent piece, or penny, weighs about 3 grams. Pennies made between 1944 and 1982 weigh 3.11 grams while pennies made afterwards weigh 2.8 grams.
The Lincoln, Wheat Ears Reverse penny weighs 3.11 grams. The Lincoln, Memorial Reverse penny (1959 to 1982) weighs 3.11 grams. The Lincoln, Memorial Reverse penny (1982 to present) weighs 2.5 grams. So it would all depend on which year the penny was minted.
A pre-decimal British Penny - (to 1967) weighs 9.45 grams. A British Penny - (1968 - 1991) weighs 3.56 grams. A British Penny - (1992 to present) weighs 3.56 grams. An Australian Penny - (1911 to 1964) weighs 9.45 grams. An New Zealand Penny - (1940 to 1964) weighs 9.45 grams. A US 1 cent (Penny) - (to 1982) weighs 3.11 grams. A US 1 cent (Penny) - (1982 to present) weighs 2.5 grams. Select one and multiply by 2,000.
In 1982 the mint struck pennies from solid bronze and from copper-plated zinc. Bronze cents weigh 3.1 grams and the zinc once weigh 2.5 grams. Bronze pennies were discontinued in mid-1982
* There are 453.5923696 grams per pound. * A post-1982 penny weighs 2.5 grams. Therefore, there are = 181.44 pennies per pound Multiplied by $100: $181.44
A single penny (after 1982) weighs 2.5 grams, so 10,000,000 pennies would weigh 25,000,000 grams, 55,115.5655 pounds, or 27.5577827 short tons.
