Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we say s is the cost per pound of strawberry and b is banana.

For Annie we have 9s + 10b = 103.

For Rob we have 9s + 9b = 99.

If you notice the only thing that changes on the left hand sides is a single b. This causes a change of 4 on the right hand side. From this we can see that b = 4. Substituting b=4 in Annie's line we get 9s + 40 = 103 so 9s = 63 so s = 7.

Strawberry costs $7 per pound and banana costs $4 per pound

The lateral area of a rectangular solid can be found using the following formula: LA = Ph, where P is the perimeter of the base,
Lunna [17]
First, determine the perimeter of the base by the doubling the sum of the length and the width. That is,
                              P = 2(a + b)
Substituting the known values,
                             P = 2(5 in + 3 in) = 16 in
Then, multiply the calculated value by the height to solve for the lateral area. 
                                  LA  = (16 in)(2 in) = 32 in²
Thus, the answer to this item is letter A.
