Jeffrey used 50% of his blue paint to make a beautiful mural of his sky. After he completed his mural he had 5 cups of blue paint left. How much blue paint left did Jeffrey start with?

Please help me. :(

Answer:

10 ...

because 50% is ½ of 100%

since it's half ,that means you have to times the number of cups left by two to get the actual number of cups

I hope this helped :)
