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

Hii I need help and if someone doesn’t mind to explain why too

All I can tell you is that there is no outlier. Consider an outlier as a number that is far out, or odd in a series of numbers as such. For example, if you had {1,2,3,4,40}, 40 would be the outlier.

Answer:

4 {x}^{2}  - 2x + x = 5 {x}^{2}  + 2x \\ 4 {x}^{2}  - x = 5 {x}^{2}  + 2x \\ 4 {x}^{2}  - 5 {x}^{2}  = 2x + x \\  - 1 {x}^{2}  = 3x \\  - x = 3 \\ x =  - 3 \\ thank \: you

Which equation represents a circle whose center is located at (- 6, 2) and whose radius is sqrt(10) units?
azamat

Answer:

{(x  + 6)}^{2}  +  {(y - 2)}^{2}=10

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle with center (a,b) and radius r, is

{(x - a)}^{2}  +  {(y - b)}^{2}  =  {r}^{2}

From the question, the center of the circle is located at (-6,2) and the radius is

r =  \sqrt{10}

We substitute the center and radius to get:

{(x -  - 6)}^{2}  +  {(y - 2)}^{2}  =  {( \sqrt{10} })^{2}

Simplify to obtain:

{(x  + 6)}^{2}  +  {(y - 2)}^{2}=10
