Answer: 2400 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

total # of cups = x

# of green cups = 960

% of green cups of total = 40%

# green cups/# of total cups = % of green cups/% of total cups

960/x = 4/10

9600 = 4x

2400 = x

$\bf f(x) = -x^2-8x\implies f(x) = -x^2-8x+0 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \textit{vertex of a vertical parabola, using coefficients} \\\\ f(x)=\stackrel{\stackrel{a}{\downarrow }}{-1}x^2\stackrel{\stackrel{b}{\downarrow }}{-8}x\stackrel{\stackrel{c}{\downarrow }}{+0} \qquad \qquad \left(-\cfrac{ b}{2 a}~~~~ ,~~~~ c-\cfrac{ b^2}{4 a}\right) \\\\\\ \left(-\cfrac{-8}{2(-1)}~~,~~0-\cfrac{(-8)^2}{4(-1)} \right)\implies \left( -4~~,~~0+\cfrac{64}{4} \right)\implies (-4~,~16)$
