I'd suggest you sketch this situation.  If you did, you'd likely see right away that the shortest distance back to the starting point would be the hypotenuse of the right triangle whose legs are of lengths 5 miles and 12 miles.

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this.

Captain Sparrow and his pirate crew dug up several gold coins. They are dividing the coins amongst themselves so that each perso
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer: 150 coins

Step-by-step explanation: let the number of captain Sparrow and the crew = c

The number of gold = g

This mean each person will get g/c

If there were four fewer pirates, then each person would get 10 more coins means

g/(c - 4) = g/ c+ 10

cg = (c-4)(g+10c) ....... (1)

However, if there were 50 fewer coins, then each person would get 5 fewer coins.

(g - 50)/c = g/c - 5

g - 50 = g - 5c

5c = 50

c = 10

Substitute c in equation 1

cg = (c-4)(g+10c) ....... (1)

10g = (10 - 4)(g + 10×10)

10g = 6× (g + 100)

10g = 6g + 600

4g = 600

g = 150 gold coin.

Therefore they dig up 150 gold coin
