The answer is: 4.5 cups.
The explanation is shown below:
1. You need 3 cups of milk to make 30 biscuits.
2. Therefore, to solve the exercise you only need to multiply 45 biscuits by 3 cups and divide this by 30 biscuits.
3. Let's call the cups you will need to make 45 biscuits
. Then, you have:

4. Therefore, you will need 4.5 cups to make 45 biscuits.
Given:
The formula for total cost is

where, p is the price of item and s is the sales tax rate (as a percent).
You pay $14.77 for an item priced at $14.
To find:
The the tax rate.
Solution:
You pay $14.77 for an item priced at $14. So,
Total cost (T) = $14.77
Price of item (p) = $14
Putting T=14.77 and p=14 in given formula, we get



Multiply both sides by 100.

Divide both sides by 14.


Therefore, the tax rate is 5.5%.
Rational expressions are multiplied and divided the same way numeric fractions are.
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost per pound, c = 25cents
number of cans per pound, n = 100/4 = 25cans
total cans collected, t = 330cans
payment for total cans collected,p
where p = (t/n)×c = (330/25)×25 = 330cents
