The number of chicken dish is 131 dishes while the number of lobster dishes is 119 dishes

<h3>How to find the number of each type of dish.</h3>

Let

x = number of chicken dish and
y = number of lobster dish

<h3>How to determine the equations for the linear system</h3>

Since it cost $40 per dish for chicken dish, the total cost of chicken dish is 40x.

Also, since it cost $70 per dish for lobster dish, the total cost of lobster dish is 70y

So, the total cost of dish is T = 40x + 70y

Also, we know that the total cost of dish is $13,570.

So, 40x + 70y = 13570 (1)

Also, there are going to be 250 guest at the dinner and thus 250 dishes.

So, the total number of dishes is x + y = 250

So, x + y = 250 (2)

So, the equations of the linear system are

40x + 70y = 13570 (1)

x + y = 250 (2)

<h3>How to determine the solution for the linear system</h3>

Since

40x + 70y = 13570 (1)

x + y = 250 (2)

From (2), x = 250 - y

Substituting x into (1), we have

40x + 70y = 13570 (1)

40(250 - y) + 70y = 13570 (1)

10000 - 40y + 70y = 13570

30y = 13570 - 10000

30y = 3570

y = 3570/30

y = 119

Substituting y = 119 into x, we have

x = 250 - y

x = 250 - 119

x = 131

Therefore, the number of chicken dish is 131 dishes while the number of lobster dishes is 119 dishes

The can is 12cm high and 8cm in diameter. Using formula V=TT r2h, how much is in the can

scoray [572]

The formula you have given here is for the volume of a cylinder. It should read $V = \pi r^{2} h$ .
First, to find r, the radius, divide the diameter by two (since the radius is the distance from the circumference to the centre and the diameter is the distance from any point on the circumference to the opposite point (through the centre))

r = 8/2 = 4

Now we can calculate this.
$V = \pi *4^{2}*12 = \pi * 16 * 12 = 603.185... \\ 
V = 603 cm^{3}$

If your answer needs to be in litres, one cubic centimetre = one millilitre.

603 cm3 = 603mL = 0.603 L
