Answer:
Let x represents the Sara eat pancake and y represents the Phil eat the pancake.
As per the statement:
Phil ate three less than twice as many pancakes as Sara.
"Twice as many pancake as Sara" means 2x
"three less than twice as many pancakes as Sara" means 2x -3
⇒
.....[1]
It is also given that together they combined to eat 15 pancakes.
⇒
.....[2]
Substitute equation [1] into [2] we get;

Combine like terms;
3x-3 =15
Add 3 to both sides we get;
3x = 18
Divide both sides by 3 we get;
x = 6
Substitute the value of x in [1] we get;
y = 2(6)-3 = 12-3 =9
y = 9
Therefore, the pancakes did each eat are;
Sara eat pancake = 6 and Phil eat pancake = 9
800/6=x/16 6x=12800 divide and get 2133 1/3
Answer: 681 square inch
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, we have to apply the formula for the surface area:
A = 2wl + 2lh + 2hw
Where:
w: width
l: length
h: height
Replacing with the values given:
A = (2x12x18.25) + (2x12x3)+(2x18.25x3)
A= 438+72+109.25
A=619.5 in2
Since it has to be 10% more than the surface.
619.5 x (10/100) = 61.95 in2
Adding that value to the surface area
619.5+61.95 = 681.45in2 = 681 in2
