Question

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A small coffee cup holds 75% as much as a large coffee cup. If the small holds 36 units, how much does the large coffee cup hold?

Answer 1

48 units

Explanation:

Let x = the amount the large cup holds

36 = 75% of x

36 = .75x. (The word "of" indicates you will be multiplying)

36 ÷ .75 = x

48 = x
