donuts and cream puffs were 45 & 4 respectively !
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Here we have , twice the number of donuts was only 6 less than 24 times the number of cream puffs. 10 times the number of cream puffs was only 5 less than the number of donuts We need to find how many donuts and cream puffs were there . Let's find out:
Let number of donuts and cream puffs are x & y respectively ! So ,
- twice the number of donuts was only 6 less than 24 times the number of cream puffs
According to this statement equation is :
⇒
⇒ ................(1)
- 10 times the number of cream puffs was only 5 less than the number of donuts
According to this statement equation is :
⇒
⇒ ................(2)
Equation (1) & (2) :

⇒
⇒
Putting in
:
⇒
⇒
Therefore , donuts and cream puffs were 45 & 4 respectively !
Answer:
CU = 117
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
=
substituting in values to the ratios
=
( cross- multiply )
24(36x - 1) = 3432 ( divide both sides by 24 )
36x - 1 = 143 ( add 1 to both sides )
36x = 144 ( divide both sides by 36 )
x = 4
CU = 36x - 1 - 26 = (36 × 4) - 27 = 144 - 27 = 117
