I would say that they didnt because if you plug anythin in that equation it wont be a solution......i think thats what it meant
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
The volume of this right rectangular prism is 263.52 and it is to the nearest hundredths as a decimal, hope it helps!
