114

Answer 2

Explanation:

Todd fills 30 paper cups with ketchup and Yuki fills 27 paper cups with ketchup.

Each paper cup holds 1 ounce

Todd = 30 * 1 = 30 ounces

Yuki = 27 * 1 = 27 ounces

Total ounces = 30 + 27

Later, Todd and Yuki learn that two other company employees completed exactly the same task.

Total ounces = 2 (30 + 27)
