Write an equation system based on the problem
For an instance, e stands for the price of a carton of eggs, and b stands for the price of a loaf of bread

"Kate bought 3 cartons of eggs and 5 loaves of bread for $30.07" could be written as 3e + 5b = 30.07 (first equation)
"Melissa bought 2 cartons of eggs and 2 loaves of bread for $14.74" could be written as 2e + 2b = 14.74 (second equation)

Solve the equation system using elimination method
Eliminate b to find e. To eliminate b, we should equalize the coefficient of b.
3e + 5b = 30.07 (multiplied by 2)
2e + 2b = 14.74 (multiplied by 5)
-------------------------------------------
  6e + 10b = 60.14
10e + 10b = 73.70
------------------------- - (substract)
-4e            = -13.56
   e            = -13.56/-4
   e            = 3.39

The price for a carton of eggs is $3.39

Estimate the original volume of the pyramid in Fig. 15.28, given that its frustum has a 4 m by 4 m square top which is 12 m vert
puteri [66]

The volume of the pyramid is 2496 cu.m.

<h3>What is a Pyramid ?</h3>

A pyramid is a three dimensional structure which has a polygon base and  in general triangular faces which join at the top .

It is given that

A pyramid \rm frustum has a 4 m by 4 m square top

Height = 12 m

Base = 20 m

The volume of a square pyramid with a  \rm frustum is given by

V = (1/2) * ( Area of base + Area of  \rm frustum ) * height of the  \rm frustum from the base

V = 0.5 * ( 20 *20 + 4*4 ) * 12

V = 2496 cu.m

The volume of the pyramid is 2496 cu.m.
