$-c+b-a=?\\\\substitute\ values:\\
a=-2,\ b=-4,1\ c=5\\\\
-c+b-a=-5+(-4,1)-(-2)=-5-4,1+2=-9,1+2=\\\boxed{-7,1}$

For this question, you can substitute in all the values for the variables.
-c + b - a
= -(5) + (-4.1) - (-2)
= -5 - 4.1 + 2
= -9.1 + 2
= -7.1

Hope this helps! :)

A movie theater decreased the size of its popcorn bags by 20%. If the old bags held 15 cups of popcorn, how much do the new bags

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Your answer will be  $12$  cups of popcorn.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much the new bags hold, you need to find out the discount.

$\frac{20}{100 } = .2$

$15 * .2 = 3$

We know that the discount is $3$ .

To figure out how much the new bags hold, subtract by the old bags.

$15 - 3 = 12$

The new bags hold 12 cups of popcorn.
