The greatest number of packages of baked items that can be sold is 10

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that there are 50 cupcakes and 160 cookies to be sold at the school bake sale

To find: greatest number of packages of baked items that can be sold

Each package has the same number of cupcakes and same number of cookies with none left over

So, we have to find the greatest common factor of 50 and 160

The greatest number that is a factor of two (or more) other numbers.

When we find all the factors of two or more numbers, and some factors are the same ("common"), then the largest of those common factors is the Greatest Common Factor.

<em><u>Greatest common factor of 50 and 160:</u></em>

The factors of 50 are: 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50

The factors of 160 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, 40, 80, 160

Then the greatest common factor is 10

So the greatest number of packages sold is 10

<em><u>Each package will contain:</u></em>

Given that there 50 cupcakes and 160 cookies

<em><u>Number of cupcakes in 1 package:</u></em>

\rightarrow \frac{50}{10} = 5

<u><em>Number of cookies in 1 package:</em></u>

\rightarrow \frac{160}{10} = 16

So each package has the same number of cupcakes and same number of cookies with none left over

The sum of two numbers is 26. The larger number is 5 more than twice the smaller. What are
babymother [125]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n = the smaller of the two numbers, and since the other number is 5 more than twice the smaller number n, then ...

Let 2n + 5 = the second and larger number.

Since the sum of the two unknown numbers is 26, then we can write the following equation to be solved for n as follows:

n + (2n + 5) = 26

n + 2n + 5 = 26

Collecting like-terms on the left, we get:

3n + 5 = 26

3n + 5 - 5 = 26 - 5

3n + 0 = 21

3n = 21

(3n)/3 = 21/3

(3/3)n = 21/3

(1)n = 7

n = 7

Therefore, ...

2n + 5 = 2(7) + 5

= 14 + 5

= 19

CHECK:

n + (2n + 5) = 26

7 + (19) = 26

7 + 19 = 26

26 = 26

Therefore, the two desired numbers whose sum is 26 are indeed 7 and 19.
