Let's assume Ken arranged his sandwiches in a rectangular shape with length 'L' and width 'W'. Now Sarah arranged her sandwiches to form a border around Ken's rectangle. The solution diagram is attached below.

Ken needs as much sandwiches as area of rectangle i.e. number of Ken's sandwiches would be = LW.

It is clear that Sarah needs as much sandwiches as perimeter of rectangle and extra four sandwiches to put on corners. It means number of Sarah's sandwiches would be = 2·(L+W) + 4.

Given that all of the sandwiches are the same size and they are all used.

Ken and Sarah bought same number of sandwiches. So we need to solve the following equation :-

Number of Ken's sandwiches = Number of Sarah's sandwiches

LW = 2·(L+W) + 4

Using trial and error approach, we get 6 x 4 = 2 x (6 + 4) + 4.

So number of Ken's sandwiches would be LW = 6 x 4 = 24 sandwiches.

Hence, final answer is "Each person could have 24 sandwiches".

pishuonlain [190]
A toy company needs to profit at least $500 from selling cars and trucks. A car can make a profit $2 while the truck can $3 profit.
let x be the number of cars
let y be the number of truck
If 200 resources for the car per week, we have:
Profit =  $2x + $3y
$500 = $2*200  +  $3*y
$500 - $400 = $3y
100 = 3y
y =100/3 = 33.33

The number of trucks needs to produce per week is at least 34 pieces.
