Katy buys ‘x’ cakes.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Viktor [21]3 years ago
5 0
Answers:
Katy bought 12 cakes
Gugu bought 36 cakes
Deanna bought 14 cakes

Explanation:
We are given that:
Katy bought x cakes 
Gugu bought 3 times as many as Katy. This means that Gugu bought 3x cakes
Deanna bought 2 cakes more than Katy. This means that Deanna bought x+2 cakes

Total number of cakes bought = x + 3x + x + 2 = 5x + 2 cakes

We know that the price of each cake is 85 p = £0.85 and that the total amount paid is <span>£52.7
This means that:
(5x+2)(0.85) = 52.7
4.25x + 1.7 = 52.7
4.25x = 52.7 - 1.7
4.25x = 51
x = 51 / 4.25
x = 12

Now, we will get the number of cakes that each bought as follows:
Katy bought x cakes = 12 cakes
Gugu bought 3x cakes = 3(12) = 36 cakes
Deanna bought x+2 cakes = 12 + 2 = 14 cakes

Hope this helps :)</span>

The length of a rectangle is 1 ft less than double the width, and the area of the rectangle is 21 ft^2. Find the dimensions of t
ICE Princess25 [194]

Let the width be w, then length = 2w - 1

Area = length times width = w(2w - 1) = 21.

Thus, 2w^2 - w = 21 or 2w^2 - w - 21 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation gives that w = 3.5.

Therefore, width is 3.5 ft and length is 2(3.5) - 1 = 6 ft.

The perimeter of a playing field for a certain sport is 334ft. The field is a rectangle, and the length is 47 ft longer than the
babunello [35]

Answer:

The dimensions of the rectangle = 60ft by 107ft

Where 60 ft = Width of the playing field

107ft = Length of the playing field

Step-by-step explanation:

A playing field is Rectangular is shape, hence,

The formula for Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(L + W)

P = 334 ft

L = 47 + W

W = W

Hence we input these values in the formula and we have:

334 = 2(47 + W + W)

334 = 2(47 + 2W)

334 = 94 + 4W

334 - 94 = 4W

240 = 4W

W = 240/4

W = 60

There fore, the width of this playing field = 60 ft

The length of this rectangle is calculated as:

47 + W

47 + 60

= 107 ft

The length of this playing field = 107ft

Therefore the dimensions of the rectangle = 60ft by 107ft

I am having a test tomorrow about this can someone help me explain it?​
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

the answer would be 217 [degrees]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since m<1 and m<2 are next to each other, they are adjacent. Adjacent angles  must share a common side which is m<W. This means they have to be added.   m<1+m<2= m<XYZ

145+72=217
