Answer 1

Given: Record of paper cups in a coffee shop. 2,000 cups are delivered at a time.

To Find: How many paper cups are left at the end of the week?

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of cups on Monday = +2000

No. of cups on Tuesday = - 125

No. of cups on Wednesday = - 127

No. of cups on Thursday = + 1719

No. of cups on Friday = - 356

No. of cups on Saturday = - 782

No. of cups on Sunday = 0

Total no. of cups left at the end of the week =

$=2000 - (125) - (127) + (1719) - (356) - (782)\\=3719 - 1390\\\\=2329$

Number of cups left at the end of the week = 2329
