Answer:
13 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
If the small box has 10 cups, then:
<u> (small) </u> <u> 10 cups </u> = <u> 100% </u>
(medium) x cups = 130%
Now, cross multiply:
10 (130) = x (100)
1300 = 100x
x = 13
Another way to solve this is by turning 30% into a decimal:
30/100 = 0.3
10 (0.3) = 3
Now you have 30% of the 10 cups, but you need <u>30% more</u><em> </em>than the small box, so:
10 + 3 = 13 cups

The answer is D, the last one.
To find the answer, you must first find 2/6 of 24.
24 ÷ 6 = 4
4 × 2 = 8
We now know that 8 council members support the idea. All that needs to be done is subtract 8 from 13, which equals 5.
