Question

8.25 The glass gauge on a cylindrical coffee maker shows there are 45 cups left when the coffee maker is 36% full. How many cups of coffee does it hold when it is full?

Answer 1

Answer:

The amount of coffee the maker will hold when full be 125 cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• The glass gauge on a cylindrical coffee maker shows there are 45 cups left when the coffee maker is 36% full.

To find:

• Number of cups of coffee does it hold when it is full.

The formula used to calculate percentage is: (value/total value)×100%.

Step 1 of 1

Let the amount of coffee the maker will hold when full be x.

Then given the glass gauge on a cylindrical coffee maker shows there are 45 cups left when the coffee maker is 36% full.

Which implies:

$\begin{gathered}\frac{36}{100} \times x=45 \\0.36 x=45 \\x=\frac{45}{0.36} \\x=125\end{gathered}$

Answer 2

Answer:

125 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

36/100*x = 45

18/50*x = 45

18x = 2250

x = 125
