<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
Answer:
There are total 5 layers.
Step-by-step explanation:
A multi-layer cake is in the shape of a right cylinder.
Height of the cake is = 20 cm
Radius is = 10 cm
Each of the cake layers has a volume of approximately 1,250 cm³.
Means, the volume of 1 cylindrical layer is 1250 cubic cm with radius as 10 cm and we have to find the height.
Volume of the cylinder is given as:
h = 3.98 or approximately height of 1 layer is 4 cm.
As the cake's height is 20 cm so, there are layers in the cake.
Answer: There are 5 layers in the cake.
