Answer:

The number of cups = 8 ....

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of cups

Let y be the number of plates

According to the given statement:

y=2x-4   This is equation 1

Now,

60% = 0.60

y=0.60(x+y)    This is equation 2

Now substitute equation 1 in equation 2.

y=0.60(x+y)

2x-4=0.60(x+2x-4)

2x-4=0.6x+1.2x-2.4

Solve the like terms:

2x-4=1.8x-2.4

2x-1.8x=4-2.4

0.2x=1.6

x=1.6/0.2

x= 8 cups

Therefore the number of cups = 8 ....
