Answer:

There were 15 cats at the shelter on Friday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of caring each cat = $3.00

Cost for caring each dog = $6.50

Total money spent by shelter = $84.00

Total Cats and Dogs in the shelter = 21

Let the number of cats in the shelter = k

So, the number of dogs in shelter =  21 -k

Also according to the question:

Total expenditure on cats + total expenditure on dogs = $84.00

or, k ($3.00) + (21-k)($6.50)  = $84.00

or, 3k + 136.5 - 6.5 k = 84

or, -3.5 k = 84 - 136.5 = -52.5

⇒3.5 k = 52.5  or k = 52.5/3.5 = 15

⇒  k = 15

Hence, the number of cats in the shelter was 15 on Friday.

Which is the equation of a circle with its center at (-4,2) and a radius of 4?
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

(x +4)^2 + (y-2)^2 = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the equation for a circle with the formula

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

Where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius

We know the center is at (-4,2) and the radius is 4

(x- -4)^2 + (y-2)^2 = 4^2

(x +4)^2 + (y-2)^2 = 16

Answer:

Range is 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Range can be calculated by subtracting the smallest value of the data set from the largest value of the data set.

The values are:

13, 17, 18, 15, 12, 21, 10, 6, 8, 11, 3

Largest Value in this data set:  21

Smallest Value in this data set: 3

Range = Largest Value - Smallest Value

Range = 21 - 3

Range = 18
