Answer:

  • Small cups were 98
  • Large cups were 57

Step-by-step explanation:

Ashley sold small cups of lemonade for $1.25 and;

Large cups of lemonade for $2.50

The total number of cups = 155 cups

Total sales = $265

Let number of small cups sold be (s) and a number of large cups sold be (l)

This forms a simultaneous equation below:

s + l = 155 ... (i)

1.25s + 2.5l = 265 ... (ii)

Multiplying (i) by 1.25 and (ii) by 1 we get:

1.25s + 1.25l = 193.75 ... (i)

1.25s + 2.5l = 265 ... (ii)

Subtracting (i) from (ii) we get:

0s + 1.25l = 71.25

1.25l = 71.25

l = 71.25 ÷ 1.25 = 57

So the number of large cups = 57 and;

the number of small cups = 155 - 57 = 98

Answer:

g=56

Step-by-step explanation:

In similar shapes, corresponding sides are always in the same ratio.

For example,

if the sides in triangle 1 were a and b, and triangle 2 had side lengths c and d, c and a had the same ratios, and b and d had the same ratios

and triangle 1 was similar to triangle 2, the ratio between the sides of the triangles would be

a/c, which is also equal to b/d

What that means is that in this situation, 8/5=g/35.

8/5=g/35

Cross multiply.

(8)*(35)=g*(5)

280=5g

g=56

The manager of a snack bar buys bottled water in packs of 35 and candy bars in packs of 20. Then, she sells the items individual
hoa [83]

Answer:

8 packs of bottled water and 14 packs of candy bars

Step-by-step explanation:

Provided,

Each pack of water bottles = 35 bottles

Each pack of candy = 20 candy

Since quantity of candy in each pack is small than quantity of water bottle in each pack, in order to have same quantity in numbers of both bottles and candies,

Purchase quantity of candy packs shall be more than the pack of water bottles.

Further, with this option 1 and 2 are not valid as candy packs are same or less than packs of water bottle.

In option 3 and 4, option 3 have smaller quantities as provided manager bought the least possible quantity.

Accordingly

Option 3

8 packs of water bottle = 8 \times 35 = 280 \ water\ bottles

14 packs of candy = 14 \times 20 = 280 \ candies

Since the quantities of water bottles and candies are same this is an opt answer.
