Answer: 18 pies, 22 cakes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pies sold be represented by p.

Let the number of cakes be represented by c.

The information in the question can then be represented in an equation as:

p + c = 40 ........ i

10p + 8c = 356 ....... ii

Multiply equation i by 10

Multiply equation ii by 1

10p + 10c = 400 ....... iii

10p + 8c = 356 ....... iv

Subtract iv from iii

2c = 44

c = 44/2

c = 22

22 cakes were sold

Since 40 items were sold, the number of pies sold will be:

= 40 - 22

= 18 pies

Answer:

The height of the prism measures 22 meters

The volume of the prism measures 10,890 cubic meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height is twice the width of the prism.

The prism's width is 11 meters.

2 x 11 = 22

The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated as:

V = l x w x h

So, the volume is:

V = 45 x 11 x 22

The volume is 10,890 cubic meters.

Hope this helps!
