Answer:
77 Sq m
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the shaded shape = Area of the rectangle with dimensions 14 m by 8m - Area of rectangle with dimensions ( 14 - 5 - 2=7) 7m by 5m.
= 14*8 - 7*5
= 112 - 35
= 77 Sq m
Let’s designate the number of banana splits sold as x. That means the number of sundaes sold is x + 8.
Now if we put this into an equation, also keeping in mind their costs, we get:
3(x) + 2(x + 8) = 156
Now to solve for x:
3x + 2(x + 8) = 156
3x + 2x + 16 = 156
5x = 140
x = 28
That means you’ve sold 28 banana splits and 36 sundaes! :)
M=14.6 (is rounded to the nearest tenth.)
