Answer:

The cost of each cotton candy bag is $4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let, the vendor has $x$ dollar at the starting of each day.

Let, the cost of each cotton candy bag is $y$ .

Now when she sells a total of 12 bags, she has $128.

$x+12y=128$ .....(1)

After she sells a total of 20 bags, she has $160.

$x+20y=160$ ....(2)

Subtract equation 1 from equation 2.

$(x+20y)-(x+12y)=160-128$

$8y=32$

$y=4$

Hence, the cost of each cotton candy bag is $4.

Directions: Calculate the area of a circle using 3.14x the radius

Leokris [45]

$\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}♨$

As we know ~

Area of the circle is :

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:\pi {r}^{2}$

And radius (r) = diameter (d) ÷ 2

[ radius of the circle = half the measure of diameter ]

<h3>Problem 1</h3>

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:r = d \div 2$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:r = 4.4\div 2$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:r = 2.2 \: mm$

Now find the Area ~

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: \pi {r}^{2}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:3.14 \times {(2.2)}^{2}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:3.14 \times {4.84}^{}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:area \approx 15.2 \: \: mm {}^{2}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:r = d \div 2$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:r = 3.7 \div 2$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:r = 1.85 \: \: cm$

Bow, calculate the Area ~

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: \pi {r}^{2}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:3.14 \times (1.85) {}^{2}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:3.14 \times 3.4225 {}^{}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:r = d \div 2$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:r = 5.8 \div 2$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:r = 2.9 \: \: yd$

now, let's calculate area ~

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:3.14 \times {(2.9)}^{2}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:3.14 \times 8.41$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:area \approx26.41 \: \: yd {}^{2}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:r = 1 \div 2$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:r = 0.5 \: \: yd$

Now, let's calculate area ~

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:\pi {r}^{2}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:3.14 \times (0.5) {}^{2}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:3.14 \times 0.25$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:area \approx0.785 \: \: yd {}^{2}$

Eamon wants to buy a new baseball glove that costs $50. he has $14 and earns $6 per hour cleaning yards. How many hours must he

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

The answer is that he would have to work 6 hours to have enough money to buy the glove.

Step-by-step explanation:

1: Find the amount he needs to earn by subtracting $14 from $50: 50 - 14 = 36. So he needs to earn $36.00.

2: Since you have to find the amount of hours, you can divide $6 from $36 to get the amount of hours he needs to work: 36 / 6 = 6. Eamon only gets $6.00 per hour so he would have to work 6 hours to get the $36.00.

What is the value of x?<br><br><br><br> Enter your answer in the box.<br><br> °

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 111°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is (n - 2) 180°

This polygon has 7 sides

Then n = 7

Process

120 + 158 + 126 + 125 + 121 + 139 + x = (7 - 2)180

120 + 158 + 126 + 125 + 121 + 139 + x = 5(180)

789 + x = 900

x = 900 -789

x = 111°
