Answer:

The price of the cake is $24 and the price of the Pie is $15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

<em>Represent price of Cake with C and Price of Pie with P</em>

C = 9 + P

Cakes sold = 8

Pies sold = 14

Total = \$402

Required

Determine C and P

To represent the cakes and pies sold, we have the following expression

8C + 14P = 402

Substitute 9 + P for C

8(9+P) + 14P = 402

Open the bracket

72 + 8P + 14P = 402

Collect Like Terms

8P + 14P = 402 - 72

22P= 330

Divide both sides by 22

P = \frac{330}{22}

P = 15

Recall that

C = 9 + P

C = 9 + 15

C = 24

<em>Hence, the price of the cake is $24 and the price of the Pie is $15</em>

Abbi has $400 in $5 bills. If she has 38 bills, how many of them are $20?
Sergio039 [100]
F=5 dollar bills
t=twent dollar bills

38 total bills
f+t=38

400 in bills
400=5f+20t

we have
f+t=38
5f+20t=400
multipy first equation by -5 and add to second equation

-5f-5t=-190
5f+20t=400 +
0f+15t=210

15t=210

divide both sides by 15
t=14

subsitute
t+f=38
15+f=38
f=23


23 five dolar bills
15 twenty dollar bills
