Answer: 18 pies, 22 cakes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of pies sold be represented by p.
Let the number of cakes be represented by c.
The information in the question can then be represented in an equation as:
p + c = 40 ........ i
10p + 8c = 356 ....... ii
Multiply equation i by 10
Multiply equation ii by 1
10p + 10c = 400 ....... iii
10p + 8c = 356 ....... iv
Subtract iv from iii
2c = 44
c = 44/2
c = 22
22 cakes were sold
Since 40 items were sold, the number of pies sold will be:
= 40 - 22
= 18 pies
Answer:
1 1/2 y
Step-by-step explanation:
The lines through side AB and side AC tell us that both sides are congruent, and by the isosceles triangle theorem that means that m∠ABC = m∠ACB so
m∠ABC = 40
Since all 3 angles in a triangle always add up to 180, we know that
(40) + (5x) + (2y + 20) = 180
We substitute our known value for 5x and solve for y:
40 + 40 + 2y + 20 = 180
2y + 100 = 180
subtract 100 from both sides
2y = 80
divide both sides by 2 to get our answer:
y = 40
