Question

A slush drink machine fills 1440 cups in 24 hours. A. Write an equation to find the number c of cups each symbol represents. I came up with c=60t ( t being time ). B. To lower costs, you replace the cups that hold 20% less. Write and solve an equation to find the number n of paper cones that the machine can fill in 24 hours. Not sure about b.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.8 n = 1440

n = 1800

Step-by-step explanation:

The slush drink machine makes 1440 cups of slush drink in 24 hours.

The cones hold 20% less than the cups, so each cone has a volume of 0.8 cups.

The number of cones filled in 24 hours, times the volume of each cone, equals the total volume of slush drink in 24 hours.

0.8 n = 1440

Solving for n, we get n = 1800.  Which means the slush drink machine can fill 1800 cones in 24 hours.

Answer 2

Answer: FROZEN JUICE DRINKS A frozen juice machine fills 1440 cups in 24 hours. a. Write and solve an equation to find the number c of cups each symbol represents.

Step-by-step explanation: in time period t

Let t = time in hrs
