The cost in dollar that Elmo used to make one sandwich is $0.23, while he spent $2.53 on all the sandwiches.

Given that:

  • He used b globs at 4 cent per glob for the peanut butter
  • He used j blobs at 4 cent per blob for the jam
  • And he made a total of n sandwiches

The equation of the n sandwiches made is represented as:

n \times (4b + 5j)=\$2.53

Express $2.53 as cents

n \times (4b + 5j)=253

The factors of 253 are 1, 11, 23, 253.

Given that n > 1, then the value of n can either be 11 or 23

Assume n = 11, then the equation becomes

11 \times (4b + 5j)=253

Divide both sides by 11

4b + 5j=23

The possible values of b and j that make the above equation to be true are:

b =2 and j = 3

This is proved as follows:

4 \times 2 + 5 \times 3=23

8 +15=23

23 = 23

Hence, the cost in dollar that Elmo used to make one sandwich is $0.23, while he spent $2.53 on all the sandwiches.

Find the measure of ∠X
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

  • 7) 65°
  • 8) 25°

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Question 7</u>

Angle formed by 2 chords is half of the sum of the intercepted arcs

  • x = 1/2(72° + 58°) = 1/2(130°) = 65°

<u>Question 8</u>

Angle formed by 2 secants is half of the difference of the intercepted arcs

  • x = 1/2(360° - (130° + 98° + 41°) - 41°) = 1/2(50°) = 25°
