Answer to Problem 42SGR

Pies: 18

Cakes: 22

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Total of 40 items were sold for $356.

Cost of pies is $10.

Cost of cakes is $8.

Concept used:

Assume separate variables for each object. Form two equations with the variables. Use elimination method and solve the system of equations.

Calculation:

Let x be the number of pies and y be the number of cakes.

Given that the total number of items is 40.

  x+y=40   ......... (1)

Then 40 items were sold for $356 also, the cost of pies and cakes is $10 and $8 respectively.

  10x+8y=356   ......... (2)

Multiplying (1) with 10,

  10x+10y=400   ........... (3)

Subtracting (2) from (3),

   10x+10y=40010x8y=356       2y=44

Dividing 3 on both sides,

  2y2=442y=22

Substituting y in (1),

  x+22=40

Subtracting 22 on both sides,

  x+2222=4022x=18

Conclusion:

The number of pies is 18 and the number of cakes is 22.
