Answer:

4 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cookies he sold be c and that of brownies be b.

Assuming that brownies and cookies are the only type of baked goods sold,

b +c= 10 -----(1)

Amount of money received= $20

b(cost of brownie) +c(cost of cookie)= $20

2.50b +1.25c= 20 -----(2)

From (1): b= 10 -c -----(3)

Substitute (3) into (2):

2.50(10 -c) +1.25c= 20

Expand:

2.50(10) +2.50(-c) +1.25c= 20

25 -2.50c +1.25c= 20

-1.25c +25= 20

Being constants to 1 side:

-1.25c= 20 -25

-1.25c= -5

c= -5 ÷(-1.25)

c= 4

Thus, Joe sold 4 cookies.

Answer:

$163

Step-by-step explanation:

Bob worked 26 hours and earn $7 per hour. Multiply 26 with 7:

26 x 7 = 182

Bob made a total of $182 last month.

Bob then spent $19. Subtract 19 from the total earned:

182 - 19 = 163

Bob has $163 left.

There is a square and a triangle
the area of a square is 
A = b * h 
A = 2*2
A = 4

the area of the triangle is 
A = (b*h)/2
A = (2 *2)/2
A = 4/2
A = 2

Now we add them up to find the total area
4 + 2 = 6
The shape has an area of 6 units^2
