Answer:

3 3/5 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the surface area of the floor of the cage first.

The cage measures 1 yard wide by 6 feet long.

1 yard = 3 feet

The floor of the cage is rectangular, so, the surface area of the floor of the cage is therefore:

3 * 6 = 18 square feet

One bag of shavings covers 5 square feet.

To find the number of bags we need to cover the floor, we divide the surface area of the floor by the number of bags per square feet.

The number of bags needed for the floor of the cage is therefore :

18 / 5 = 3 3/5 bags

A garden table and a bench cost S585 combined. The garden table costs S65 less than the bench. What is the cost of the bench?
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Bench costs $325

Step-by-step explanation:

Try setting up an equation

x = cost of garden table

y = cost of bench

equation 1: x + y = 585

We also know that the table costs 65 dollars less than the bench.

cost of garden table = bench - 65

or

equation 2: x = y - 65

Now just substitute equation 2 into equation 1

(y-65) + y = 585

and solve for y

2y-65 = 585

2y = 585 + 65 = 650

y = 325 = cost of bench
