The cost of each pie is; $6

The cost of each cake is; $7.5

Let the cost of cake be C and let the cost of pie be P.

If you order 4 cakes and 3 pies for $46.50, then;

4C + 3P = 46.5 - - - (eq 1)

Your friend orders 3 cakes and 2 pies for $33. Thus;

3C + 2P = 33 - - - - (eq 2)

Multiply eq 2 by 3 and eq 1 by 2 to get;

8C + 6P = 93 - - -(eq 3)

9C + 6P = 99 - - - (eq 4)

Subtract eq 3 from eq 4 to get;

C = $6

Thus;

3(6) + 2P = 33

18 + 2P = 33

2P = 15

P = $7.5

Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Distance from present location to CheapGas = 4 miles

Price of gas at CheapGas is $0.37 cheaper

Hence, the decision to make a U-turn back to CheapGas or continue on intended destination will rely on two factors ;

1) The number of gallons of gas to purchase

2) The cost of gas required to return to cheap gas.

If a substantial amount of gas is to be purchased, may be 50, 100 or more gallons, the amount saved by making a turn back to cheapGas and purchase gas at $0.37 cheaper per gallon.

You can make a tent by throwing a piece of cloth over a clothesline, then securing the edge to the ground with stakes so that an

4vir4ik [10]

Based on the required width and height of the tent, the length of the cloth would have to be 14.4 ft.

<h3>How long should the length of the cloth be?</h3>

The opening of the tent would be an isosceles triangle but if it is divided in two from the top, a right-angled triangle will be formed and the hypotenuse will be the length of the cloth on one side.

That length - according to the Pythagoras theorem - would be:

= √(6² + (8 /2)²)

= √(36 + 16)

= 7.2 ft

As this is the length of one side of the cloth, the length of the entire cloth is:

= 7.2 x 2

= 14.4 ft
