Answer:

Boxes sold first week = 104

Boxes sold second week =x+5= 104+5=109

Boxes sold third  week = 109 times 2= 218

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of boxes sold in first week

the girls sold 5 more boxes the second week

So number of boxes sold in second week is x+5

they double the sales of the second week for the third week

So number of boxes sold in third week is 2 (x+5)

Total boxes sold is 431

x+x+5+2(x+5)=431

x+x+5+2x+10=431

4x+15=431

subtract 15 from both sides

4x=416

divide by 4 on both sides

x=104

Boxes sold first week = 104

Boxes sold second week =x+5= 104+5=109

Boxes sold third  week = 104 times 2= 218

Find the circumference of the pizza to the nearest tenth. Pizza : 10 inches
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

31.4 in

Step-by-step explanation:

I must assume that you meant "10-inch pizza," which implies a diameter of 10 inches.  The formula for the circumference of a circle when the diameter is known is C = πd , so here:

C = π(10 in) = 10π in, or roughly 31.4 in.
