Answer

You need to pay $14.20 to get 4 coffees and 6 donuts.

Explanation

Let's say that the price of one coffee and x and the price of one donut is y.

In the first instance, 3x+4y=10.05.

In the second instance, 5x+7y=17.15.

You can use these equations to find the value of a coffee and the value of a donut.

We can find x and y using elimination. To do this, you should add or subtract one equation from another to "get rid" of a variable (I'll "get rid" of x). We can't just add or subtract the equations right now, since that wouldn't lead to 0x.

Multiply the first equation by 5, and the second equation by 3. After this, both equations will have 15x. Make sure to multiply each term by 5 and 3.

15x+20y=50.25. This means that 15 coffees and 20 donuts is $50.25.

15x+21y=51.45. This means that 15 coffees and 21 donuts is 51.45.

Now since there are an equal number of coffees, we can subtract these equations.

(15x+21y=51.45)-(15x+20y=50.25) equals y=1.20 (a donut costs $1.20).

Plug the price of the donut into y to find x; 3x+4(1.20)=10.05. The value of x is 1.75. The price of a coffee is 1.75.

You can multiply 1.75 by 4 to find the price of 4 coffees and 1.20 by 6 to find the price of 6 donuts.

1.75*4 is 7.00 and 1.20*6 is 7.20.

You can add those to find the total price; 7.00+7.20=14.20.

2) Calculate the surface<br> area of the cylinder:<br> 5 cm
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

28π cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface of a cylinder is given by the formula:

  • 2πrh + 2πr²

where r is the radius of the base, and h is the height.

Using the image, we can find that the radius of the cylinder would be 2 cm, and the height would be 5 cm.

Now, to find the surface area of the cylinder, we would have to plug in 2 for r (the radius of the base) and 5 for h (the height of the cylinder) into the formula for the surface area of a cylinder.

Now we plug in 2 for r and 5 for h for the equation for the surface area of a cylinder:

2π(2)(5) + 2π(2)² = 20π + 2π(4) = 20π + 8π = 28π

Remember, the radius and the height are given to us in cm, and w are solving for surface area, so the answer should be in cm² (square centimeters).

The surface area of the cylinder would be 28π cm².

28π cm² would be an exact answer. For the approximate answer, plug in 3.14 (most math classes use 3.14 to approximate π) for π.

I hope you find this helpful. :)
