Answer:

Orinal number of cats=  171

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Decrease in population= 30%

Current population= 120

<u>To calculate the original number of cats, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Orinal number of cats= current population / (1 - decrease)

Orinal number of cats= 120 / (1 - 0.3)

Orinal number of cats=  171

WITCHER [35]

maple syrup = x

You start at (7, 2). You move up 5 units. Where do you end?
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

(7,7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Because going up would be moving along the y-axis, then you would add 5 to the Y value which was 2 so therefore, if you move up 5 you'll be at (7,7).:)
