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

Find the sum of the first six terms of a geometric series in which a1 = 4 and r = -3: A. 729 B. -729 C. -728 D. 728 plz help
natta225 [31]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum to n terms of a geometric sequence is

S_{n} = \frac{a_{1}(r^n-1) }{r-1}

Here a₁ = 4 and r = - 3, thus

S_{6} = \frac{4((-3)^6-1)}{-3-1}

    = \frac{4(729-1)}{-4} = - (729 - 1) = - 728 → C
