Answer: 88 cones.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

price of a cone = $1.10

price of a sundae = $2.35

A total of 172 cones and sundaes were sold for $294.20

Then we can define two variables:

C = number of cones sold

S = number of sundaes sold.

C + S = 172 (the total number of sundaes and cones sold is 172)

C*$1.10 + S*$2.35 = $294.20  (that is how much the won).

Then we have the system of equations:

C + S = 172

C*$1.10 + S*$2.35 = $294.20

And we want to find how many cones were sold.

To solve this, we first need to isolate the other variable, S, in one of the equations, i will isolate S in the first equation:

S = 172 - C

Now, let's replace this in the second equation:

C*$1.10 + (172 - C)*$2.35 = $294.20

Now we can solve this for C, and find the number of cones that were sold.

C*$1.10 + $404.20 - C*$2.35 = $294.20

C*($1.10 - $2.35) = $294.20 - $404.20

-C*1.25 = -110

C = 110/1.25 = 88

88 cones were sold.

Angles on a straight line add up to 180 degrees so

45 + 3x = 180
Subtract 45 from both sides to remove the 45 on the left

3x = 135
Then divide both sides by 3
x = 45

Answer is X = 45

A news report says that 9% of middle school students are on the track team.
Ratling [72]

Answer:

54 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have 600 and 9% the nearest rounding point is %10. %10 of 600 is 60, and 1% of 60 is 6, so 60-6=54.

An amount of $180 is shared among three people in the ratio x: y: z.
sammy [17]

Answer:

$110 and $30

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we need to know the total share which is,

4 + 11 + 3 = 18

Then, you need to know the fraction of the share over the total, such that

x = \frac{4}{18}

y =  \frac{11}{18}

z =  \frac{3}{18}

So if to find how much that'll be of the $180 for the largest and smallest share,

Largest:

\frac{11}{18}  \times 180 = 110

Smallest:

\frac{3}{18}  \times 180 = 30
