Brittany has \( \qquad \) pennies left. 11. Two brothers played a game of basketball. The first brother scored 125 points. The second brother scored 45 more points than the first brother. Which strip diagram can be used to find the total number of points both brothers scored? A. \begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|} \hline \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{125} & \( e^{125} \) \\ \hline 45 & & \( ? \) \\ \hline \end{tabular} B. \begin{tabular}{|l|l|} \hline \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{125} \\ \hline 45 & \\ \hline \end{tabular} C. \begin{tabular}{|l|l|} \hline \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{\( ? \)} \\ \hline 125 & 45 \\ \hline \end{tabular} \( \square \)

Solve each problem. See Example 1. In Canada, $\$ 1$ and $\$ 2$ bills have been replaced by coins. The $\$ 1$ coins are called "loonies" because they have a picture of a loon (a well-known Canadian bird) on the reverse, and the $\$ 2$ coins are called "toonies." When Marissa returned home to San Francisco from a trip to Vancouver, she found that she had acquired 37 of these coins, with a total value of 51 Canadian dollars. How many coins of each denomination did she have? (GRAPH NOT COPY)

Use the following scenario to answer the following questions, clearly explaining your reasoning. Scenario: Simon has a $20 note and a bunch of loonies ($1 coins), whereas Gary has a $10 note and a bunch of toonies ($2 coins). a) Write an equation for the amount of money that Simon has using the variable Y for the amount in dollars and the variable X for the number of loonies he has. b) Write an equation for the amount of money that Gary has using the variable Y for the amount in dollars and the variable X for the number of toonies he has. c) Use the two equations to solve the problem "Who has more money, Simon or Gary, if they each have 9 coins?" d) Use the two equations to solve the problem "Who has more money, Simon or Gary, if they each have 10 coins?" e) How can we use the two equations another way to show that if Simon and Gary have the same amount of money, then they must each have 10 coins?
