Answer:

8 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is:

Let $c$ be amount of cups she can buy.

$10+4.5c=50$

Using this equation, we get:

$10+4.5c=50$

<em>Subtract 10 from both sides</em>

$4.5c=40$

<em>Divide both sides by 4.5</em>

$c$ ≈ $8.89$

Since she can only buy whole cups, the max she can buy is 8 cups.
