Answer: Cost of  a giant cookies = $1.39

Cost of a cake= $6.95

Cost of a pie= $4.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Let price of a giant cookie = x

Then,

price of a cake = 5x

Price of a pie = 5x-2

Cost of  30 cakes, 40 pies, and 200 giant cookies = 30 (5x)+40(5x-2)+200x

= 150x+200x-80+200x   [By distributive property a(b+c)=ab+ac]

= 550x-80

Given cost = $684.50

\Rightarrow\ 550x-80=684.50\\\\\Rightarrow\ 550x= 684.50+80

\Rightarrow\ 550x=764.50\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{764.50}{550}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=1.39

Cost of  a giant cookies = $1.39

Cost of a cake = 5 x $1.39  = $6.95

Cost of a pie = $6.95 -  $2 = $4.95

Find the area enclosed by the figure. Use 3.14 for π. (The figure is not to scale).<br><br>​
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

97.27 yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's find the area of the right triangle on the left side. To do that, multiply 6x5, then divide the product by 2, since a right triangle is half a rectangle.

6x5=30

30/2=15

Area of triangle=15 yd²

Find area of the middle rectangle. So multiply the length by the width.

9x6=54

Area of rectangle=54 yd²

Find area of the half circle. Formula for area of circle is A=\pi r^{2}. Pi is about 3.14, and radius (r) is 3. Radius is half of the diameter of circle, and the 6 on the left says the diameter of circle.

\pix3^{2}≈28.27

Area of circle is about 28.27 yd²

Add up the three areas.

15+54+28.27=97.27
