Answer:

$3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let chocolate pie be x and apple pie be y

Darryl made $38 from 2 chocolate pies and 4 apple pies

That’s

2x + 4y = $38

Kayla made $138 from 14 chocolate pies and 12 apple pies

That’s

14x + 12y = $138

We now have two equations

Equation 1 : 2x + 4y = 38

Equation 2: 14x + 12y = 138

Multiply equation one by 12 and equation 2 by 4 to eliminate apple pie y

We have

12 x 2x + 12 x 4y = 12 x 38

4 x 14x + 4 x 12y = 4 x 138

24x + 48y = 456

56x + 48y = 552

Subtract equation equation two from one

-32x = -96

Divide both sides by -32

x = -96/-32

x = 3

A chocolate pie cost $3

The figure below is a right rectangular prism with
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

The area of the base of the rectangular prism is:

  • <u>18 square centimeters</u>.

The height of the rectangular prism is:

  • <u>6 centimeters</u>.

The volume of the rectangular prism is:

  • <u>108 cubic centimeters</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the base of the prism, you must remember that it corresponds to the rectangle formed by the points ABCD, with this in mind we apply the area formula that is equal to:

  • Area of a rectangle = base * height.

Since the rectangle formed by the mentioned points has a base of 9 cm and a height of 2 cm, these values are the ones we use in the formula:

  • Area of a rectangle = 9 cm * 2 cm
  • <u>Area of a rectangle = 18 cm^2 </u>

Since the height requested by the second question is not from the rectangle at the base but from the entire prism, you should look at the height formed by the AW points, which as you can see is:

  • <u>Prism height = 6 cm </u>

Once we have these two data, it is very easy to calculate the volume since they are what we require in the volume formula:

  • Volume = area * height.
  • Volume = 18 cm^2 * 6 cm
  • <u>Volume = 108 cm^3</u>

A survey about the student government program at a school finds the following results:
Serhud [2]
A total of 440 students took part in the survey. Each student makes up 0.8181818182% of the central angle of the circle graph. You get to this number by dividing 360 degrees by 440 students. Then you simply multiply this number by 110 students (who liked the program).

0.8181818182%*110=90 degrees
