Since the plane if cutting through the prism to make 5 sides, than the original shape needs to have less than 5.
 A prism, is a 3D shape, so you can't have a 2 sided shape.

Now you have a choice of 3 or 4 sides.

A 3 sides shape is a triangle, which also can't be cut into a 5 sided prism,
 so the answer would need to be 4.
 The answer is B

A high school sports team is ordering sports drinks online from a company. The price of sports drinks varies, based on the numbe
Elena-2011 [213]

The amount of drinks is a linear function of the number of drinks. The maximum amount that can be purchased is 100 soft drinks.

Let

y \to amount of drinks

x \to number of drinks

For drinks not more than 50

y = 10 + 0.8x

For drinks more than 50.

y = 15 + 0.7x

For a purchase of $85, it means that:

y = 85

So, we solve for x in both equations.

y = 10 + 0.8x

85 = 10 + 0.8x

Collect like terms

0.8x = 85-10

0.8x = 75

Divide through by 0.8

x = 93.75

x = 94 --- approximated

y = 15 + 0.7x

85 =15 + 0.7x

Collect like terms

0.7x = 85 - 15

0.7x = 70

Divide by 0.7

x = 100

By comparing both values:

x = 100

x = 94

100 > 94

Hence, the maximum amount that can be purchased is 100
