<u>Given</u>:
The equation of the circle is 
We need to determine the center and radius of the circle.
<u>Center</u>:
The general form of the equation of the circle is 
where (h,k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius.
Let us compare the general form of the equation of the circle with the given equation to determine the center.
The given equation can be written as,
Comparing the two equations, we get;
(h,k) = (0,-4)
Therefore, the center of the circle is (0,-4)
<u>Radius:</u>
Let us compare the general form of the equation of the circle with the given equation to determine the radius.
Hence, the given equation can be written as,
Comparing the two equation, we get;
Thus, the radius of the circle is 8
It takes 42 cherries to make a cherry pie.
If a chef bought 444 cherries and you would like to know how many more cherries would the last pie need, you can calculate this using the following steps:
444 / 42 = 74 / 7 = 10 4/7 pies
4/7 * 42 = 24 cherries
42 - 24 = 18 more cherries
Result: The last pie would need 18 more cherries.
Alright so first you want to find out how you take 30% off of $30. The first step is to ask yourself, what's 30% of $30? All you have to do is make the percentage into a decimal like you did and multiply .30 times 30. That gets you 9. So 9 is 30% of $30, but since it said the original 30 was marked down by that much, it means subtract. 30-9=21.
For the second part, you pretty much do the same thing but using the 21 you just got and taking away 20% this time. Same process so .20 times 21=4.2, and take the 4.2 away from 21 to get 21-4.2=16.8.
Convert that to dollars to see that the final price is $16.80.
Just a tip, a lot of people will forget the subtraction part after they find the percentage part. Most of these type questions are two steps like that so don't forget to subtract when needed. Lmk if you still have questions :)
