Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the longest side of the triangle.

The shortest side of a triangle measures 15 inches less than the longest side. It means that the length of the shortest side is x - 15.

If the third side is 2 inches shorter than the longest side, it means that the length of the third side is

x - 2

The formula for determining the perimeter of a triangle is

Perimeter = a + b + c

Where a, b and c are the lengths of each side of the triangle. The perimeter of the triangle is 103 inches. It means that

x + x - 15 + x - 2 = 103

3x - 17 = 103

3x = 103 + 17 = 120

x = 120/3

x = 40

The length of the longest side is

40 inches

The length of the third side is

40 - 2 = 38 inches

The length of the shortest side is

40 - 15 = 25 inches

5 * x = 6 * 8

5x = 48

x = 9.6

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

<em>630 cups</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Percentages</u>

This problem is most easily solved backward, i.e., from the final data up to the beginning.

There was a new box of cups and the worker at a snack stand opened it. He first used 30 cups from the box and the second day he uses 15% of the remaining cups in the box, and we are told that represents 90 cups.

If 15% (0.15) equals 90 cups, then the number of cups before the second day was 90/0.15 = 600 cups.

On the first day, we used 30 cups, thus the original number of cups in the box was 600+30=630 cups
