Answer:

The number of cheese pizza sold is 200 cheese pizzas

The number of sausage pizza sold is 80 sausage pizzas

The number of pepperoni pizza sold is 120 pepperoni pizzas

Step-by-step explanation:

The price at which the pepperoni  pizza was sold is $14

The price at which the sausage pizza was sold is $11

price at which the cheese pizza was sold is $10

The total number of pizzas sold = 400

The total amount made = $4560

The number of cheese pizza sold = 80 + the number of pepperoni pizzas

Let the number of cheese pizza sold = C

The number of sausage pizza sold = S

The number of pepperoni pizza sold = P

We have;

C + S + P = 400..........................(1)

C = 80 + P...................................(2)

10·C + 11·S + 14·P = $4560.......(3)

Substituting the value for C from equation (2) in equation (1), we get;

C + S + P = 400 = 80 + P + S + P = 400

2·P + S = 400 - 80 = 320

∴ S = 320 - 2·P..........................(4)

Substituting the value for C from equation (2) and the value for S from equation (4) into equation (3), we get;

10·C + 11·S + 14·P = $4560

10·(80 + P) + 11·(320 - 2·P) + 14·P = 4560

800 + 10·P + 3,520 - 22·P + 14·P = 4560

4,320 + 2·P =  4560

2·P =  4560 - 4,320 = 240

P = 240/2 = 120

P = 120

C = 80 + P = 80 + 120 = 200

C = 200

S = 320 - 2·P = 320 - 2×120 = 320 - 240 = 80

S = 80

Therefore;

The number of cheese pizza sold = C = 200

The number of sausage pizza sold = S = 80

The number of pepperoni pizza sold = P = 120.

I’ll give brainliest to the person who answers this right. Please help!!
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

3.43

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this you would first find the area of the square which is 16. Then you would find the area of the 2 semicircle or just on whole circle. We are just going to use the formula for a whole circle since there are 2 semicircles. The formula to find a circle is pi times r^2 so we are going to put that into a calculator so we would do pi times 2 (radius of circle)^2 which is 12.57 and we would subtract 16 by 12.57 which is 3.43

Find last year’s salary if, after a 3% pay raise, this year’s salary is $30,900
Liono4ka [1.6K]
Your answer is $30,000.
The way I have answered this is quite strange, but I'll do my best to explain it. So because we know that $30,900 is 3% than last year, we can call it 103%. This allows us to form a ratio and therefore find 100%.
30,900 : 103
÷ 103
300 : 1
× 100
30,000 : 100
Which means $30,000 is 100%, or 3% less than $30,900. I hope this helps! Let me know if it was confusing or anything :)

What is the surface area of this prism?
Zigmanuir [339]
Let's find the area of each shape that makes up the prism.  Let's first start with the triangles.

There are two identical triangles on both ends of the prisms. They have a height of 12 and a base 18. Let's find the area of both of the triangles.
12×18=216
216 is the area of both triangles. Each triangle has an area of 108 though.
Let's find the area of the two rectangles.

There are two identical rectangles that are 30 m by 15 m. Let's find the area of both.
30×15=450×2=900
So, the area of both rectangles together is 900.
Let's find the area of the rectangle that acts as the base in the picture.

There's only one and it's 30 m by 18 m.
30×18=540
Let's add everything together.

540+900+216
1440+216
1656

So, the surface area is 1656 m².
