Answer:

number of bricks = 16 and number of blocks  = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

From given information it seems , we need to determine number of bricks and number of blocks.

lets assume number of bricks = x

and number of blocks = y

since total items in brickyard is 28

⇒  number of bricks + number of blocks = 28

⇒ x + y = 28         ----------------------- equation 1

Given that cost of 1 brick = $0.38  and cost of 1 block =$1.56

so cost of x bricks = cost of 1 brick × x = 0.38x

And cost of y blocks = cost of 1 block × y = 1.56y

total cost of 28 items order = $24.80

total cost of 28 items = cost of x bricks + cost of y blocks

⇒0.38x + 1.56y = 24.80 ----------------equation 2

Now we are having following two equations

x + y = 28         ----------------------- equation 1

0.38x + 1.56y = 24.80 ----------------equation 2

from equation 1 we get x = 28 - y , substituting this value of x in equation 2 we get

0.38(28 - y) + 1.56y =  24.80

⇒10.64-0.38y+1.56y= 24.80

⇒1.18y = 24.80 - 10.64

⇒y = 14.16÷1.18 = 12

substituting value of y in equation 1 we get

x + 12 = 28

⇒x = 16

hence  number of bricks = x  = 16 and number of blocks = y = 12

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

C. 31.83 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Trina has $1000 to purchase an open-top cylindrical dog pen in her backyard. She wants the height of the pen to be 5 feet.

First of all, we will find the surface area of dog pen using surface area of cylinder.

\text{Surface area of cylinder}=2\pi rh,where,

r = Radius of cylinder,

h = Height of cylinder.

\text{Surface area of cylinder}=2\pi r*5

\text{Surface area of cylinder}=10\pi r

Since the area of each square foot of pen costs $1, so in $1000 Trina can cover an area of 1000 square feet.

Now, we will set the surface area of cylinder equal to 1000 to solve for the radius.

1000=10\pi r

Upon dividing both sides of our equation by 10 pi we will get,

\frac{1000}{10\pi}=\frac{10\pi r}{10\pi}

31.8309886=r

r\approx 31.83

Therefore, the radius of the dog pen is 31.83 feet and option C is the correct choice.

Anni [7]
Answer: 40%. Alternatively, you can think about it this way. The item is 40% off. This means you'll pay 60.000% of the total cost (100% - 40% = 60.000%).

What is the LCM of 24 and 54?
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer: 216

Step-by-step explanation:

The LCM of 24 and 54 is 216. To find the least common multiple of 24 and 54, we need to find the multiples of 24 and 54 (multiples of 24 = 24, 48, 72, 96 . . . . 216; multiples of 54 = 54, 108, 162, 216) and choose the smallest multiple that is exactly divisible by 24 and 54, i.e., 216.
