Three numbers are in continued proportion whose mean proportional is 12 and sum of the remaning two numbers is 26 then find these numbers

as they are in continued proportion

given that mean proportional is 12

: b=12

so

144 = ac

c=144\a

the sum of the two numbers

a+c=26

a+144\a=26

step 2: simplify using factorization

a=18 or a=8

c=8 or c=18

hence the numbers are 8,12,18 or 18,12,8

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.
