Question 826676

a flower garden is shaped like a circle. Its radius is 20 yards. A ring shaped path goes around the garden. The width of the path is 5 yards. The gardener is going to cover the path with sand. If one bag of sand cover 7 yards, how many bags of sand does the gardener need ?
<pre><font face = "Arial" size = 3 color = "blue"><b>
If you meant that one bag of sand covers 7 SQUARE YARDS, then bags of sand needed is: {{{(500pi)/7}}}, or 224.3995 &#8776; {{{highlight_green(225)}}}</b></font face = "Arial" size = 3 color = "blue">
You can do the check!!

 x +  y = 13 ----- eq (i)
2x + 3y = 13 ----- eq (ii)

 
If you need a complete and detailed solution, let me know!!
