Question

An economy package of cups has 880 green cups. If the green cups are 40% of the total package, how many cups are in the package?

Answer 1

Answer: 2200 total cups in the package.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use a rule of 3 here.

We have a total package or 100% of the package full of cups. 880 of the cups represent 40% of the total package.

880 - 40%

We need to find the amount of cups (x) that represent 100% of the package

x - 100%

Let's do our chart.

$\frac{880}{x}=\frac{40}{100}$

Solve for x

$x=\frac{880*100}{40} \\x=2200$
