A. The cafeteria sold 5 more turkey sandwiches than ham sandwiches. They sold 13 sandwiches in all. How many turkey sandwiches did the cafeteria sell?
B. Which is the best type of graph to show the percentage of students who have blond, brown, black, or red hair?
-Pictograph
-Circle Graph
-Double Bar Graph
-Stem and leaf plot
C.The sum of two numbers is 25. Their difference is 11. What are the two numbers?
Solution
a)
let number of ham sandwiches sold =x
number of turkey sandwiches sold =5+x
They sold 13 sandwiches in all
=>x+ 5+x =13
=>2x+5=13
=>2x=13-5
=>2x=8
=>x=8/2
=>x=4
number of turkey sandwiches sold =5+4
number of turkey sandwiches sold =9
cafeteria sells 9 turkey sandwiches
============================================================
B)
Circle Graph is the best type of graph to show the percentage of students who have blond, brown, black, or red hair
==========================================================
C)
let 2 number be x, y where x>y
The sum of two numbers is 25. Their difference is 11.
x+y =25, x-y =11
=>x+y +x-y=25+11
=>2x=36
=>x=18
x+y=25, x=18
=>18+y=25
=>y=7
the two numbers are 7,18
