The shop sold 36 sundaes and 28 banana spilts
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let "a" be the number of sundaes sold
Let "b" be the number of banana spilts sold
Cost of 1 sundaes = $ 2
Cost of 1 banana spilt = $ 3
<em><u>On a hot summer day, the shop sold 8 more sundaes than banana splits and made $156</u></em>
Therefore,
Number of sundaes sold = 8 + number of banana spilts sold
a = 8 + b ------- eqn 1
<em><u>Also, given that they made $ 156</u></em>
<em><u>Therefore, we frame a equation as</u></em>:
Number of sundaes sold x Cost of 1 sundaes + number of banana spilts sold x Cost of 1 banana spilt = 156
2a + 3b = 156 ---------- eqn 2
<em><u>Substitute eqn 1 into eqn 2</u></em>
2(8 + b) + 3b = 156
16 + 2b + 3b = 156
16 + 5b = 156
5b = 156 - 16
5b = 140
<h3>b = 28</h3><em><u>Substitute b = 28 in eqn 1</u></em>
a = 8 + 28
<h3>a = 36</h3>Thus the shop sold 36 sundaes and 28 banana spilts
Answer:56.8 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
For perimeter we must find the lengths of the 2 diagonal sides of the triangle which are the same because it is isosceles.
the triangle is cut directly in half so both halves of the base are 17/2
17/2 = 8.5
solve through pythagoren theorum
altitude^2 + (half of base)^2 = (diagonal length)^2
18^2 + (8.5)^2 = (diagonal length)^2
324 + 72.25 = (diagonal length)^2
396.3 = (diagonal length)^2
= diagonal length
diagonal length = 19.9
diagonal length + diagonal length + base = perimeter
19.9 + 19.9 + 17 = perimeter
56.8 inches = perimeter
