Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the first day he used 30 cups

the second day he used 15% of the remaining cups...a total of 90 cups were used on second day.

so 15%of the remaining cups = 90.....so if u let x be the total cups, then the remaining cups would be x - 30

15% of (x - 30) = 90.....turn ur percent to a decimal..." of " means multiply

0.15(x - 30) = 90

0.15x - 4.5 = 90

0.15x = 90 + 4.5

0.15x = 94.5

x = 94.5 / 0.15

x = 630 total cups <==

lets check..

start with 630 cups....used 30 the first day....leaving u with 600 cups....15% of the remaining cups = 90.....so 15% of 600 = 90....lets check it

15%of 600 = 0.15(600) = 90...yep, thats correct....there were 630 cups in the new un-opened box

Perimeter of figure = 3 sides of rectangle + perimeter of semi-circle.

3 sides of rectangle = 15 + 12 + 15 = 42

Perimeter of semi-circle = πr = 3.14 * 6 = 18.84

In short, Your Answer would be: 42 + 18.84 = 60.84 m

Hope this helps!
