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

Which numbers can be placed in the blank to make the value of this expression a negative number? (-16) -​
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

All numbers greater than -16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

To keep this expression negative, we can subtract a positive number (numbers greater than or equal to 0), to give us an even smaller negative number.

Another option is to add a negative number so that the value is still negative. We can add any number that is larger than -16.

Answer: All numbers greater than -16
