Question

An economy package of cups has 880 green cups. If the green cups are 40% of the total package, how many cups are in the package?

Answer 1

Answer: 2200 total cups in the package.

Explanation:

Let's use a rule of 3 here.

We have a total package or 100% of the package full of cups. 880 of the cups represent 40% of the total package.

880 - 40%

We need to find the amount of cups (x) that represent 100% of the package

x - 100%

Let's do our chart.

`(880)/(x)=(40)/(100)`

Solve for x

`x=(880*100)/(40) \\x=2200`
