<h3><u><em>Question:</em></u></h3>
On the first day, a total of 40 items were sold for $356. Pies cost $10 and cakes cost $8. Define the variables, write a system of equations to find the number of cakes and pies sold, and state how many pies were sold.
<h3><em><u>Answer:</u></em></h3>The variables are defined as:
"c" represent the number of cakes sold and "p" represent the number of pies sold
The system of equations used are:
c + p = 40 and 8c + 10p = 356
18 pies and 22 cakes were sold
<h3><em><u>Solution:</u></em></h3>Let "c" represent the number of cakes sold
Let "p" represent the number of pies sold
Cost of 1 pie = $ 10
Cost of 1 cake = $ 8
Given that total of 40 items were sold
number of cakes + number of pies = 40
c + p = 40 ------ eqn 1
<u><em>Given items were sold for $356</em></u>
number of cakes sold x Cost of 1 cake + number of pies sold x Cost of 1 cake = 356
8c + 10p = 356 ----- eqn 2
<u><em>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</em></u>
From eqn 1,
p = 40 - c ---- eqn 3
Substitute eqn 3 in eqn 2
8c + 10(40 - c) = 356
8c + 400 - 10c = 356
-2c = - 44
c = 22
<em>Substitute c = 22 in eqn 3</em>
p = 40 - c
p = 40 - 22
p = 18
Thus 18 pies and 22 cakes were sold
The school council will have 216 small sandwiches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Sandwiches ordered = 12
Length of one sandwich = 6 feet
1 foot = 12 inch
6 feet = 12*6 = 72 inches
Length of one sandwich in inches = 72 inches
As one small sandwich is 4 inches,
Number of small sandwiches in one sandwich =
One sandwich = 18 small sandwiches
12 sandwiches = 18*12 = 216 small sandwiches
The school council will have 216 small sandwiches.
