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

A buyer purchases 75 yards of material for $120. Then an additional 90 yards are ordered. What is the additional cost?
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

$128

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We need to find how much 1 yard of material cost.

If needed, use a calculator*

120/75=1.6

2. Now we need to know how much 15 yards of material cost.

1.6 times 15=24

3. The buyer ordered an additional 90 yards. If we know how much 75 yards cost, and 15 yards, all you have to do is...

120+24=144

90 yards=$144

4. The additional cost is $144

(Note: the total cost would be $264 (120+144=264))

Identify the reciprocal of each number. Type it in the blank, using a slash () to show a fraction,
amid [387]

Answer: 6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

When finding the reciprocal, we essentially just "flip" or take the inverse of the number we are given. For example, the reciprocal of 1/2 would be 2/1 or 2. The given number multiplied by the reciprocal should always equal 1. If it does, then we know we are correct.

In this case, we are finding the reciprocal of 5/6, so we "flip" the numerator and the denominator to get 6/5.

To check our work, we need to multiply our original number and its reciprocal.

5/6 x 6/5 = 30/30 = 1

Now, we know we are correct, that the reciprocal of 5/6 is 6/5.
