Before I give you the answer, just a little tip for you that I learned is that if you can draw a picture then draw one. So how I would figure this out is by drawing a third of the bag for each day then adding them together. So day one 1/3 of the bag was eaten. Day two another 1/3 was eaten which would make it 2/3 and so on...by the end of the five days billy would've eaten 1 bag and 2/3 of another bag. Hope this helps!

A second basket has 6 spas--- I think you mean 6 soaps , so i will work with that

Answer:it is not possible to determine the price of the soap with the information given.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s0ap be represented as x

and lotion be represented as y

2 soaps and 5 lotions costing $20 gives us equation 1 as

2 x+ 5y= 20-------- equation 1

second basket with 6 soaps and 15 lotions and costing $60 gives us equation 2 as

6x + 15y= 60------equation 2

Step 2 -- Solving

2 x+ 5y= 20-------- equation 1

6x + 15y= 60--------equation 2

BY elimination method, we multiply equation 1 by (3)

2x + 5y= 20 x (3)

6x + 15y=60-------equation 3

Subtraction of equation 3 from equation 2 gives us

6x + 15y=60-------equation 3

-6x + 15y= 60--------equation 2

0x +0y=0 which is no solution

Therefore it is not possible to determine the price of the soap

The general formula of a pyramid with any base is 1/3 bh where b is the area of the base and h is the height. In this case, the height of the pyramid is said to be twice the height of the prism, h. Hence the area becomes 1/3 b*2h or equal to option A. 2/3 bh
