To find out how many yogurt cups Mary sold, you can calculate \( \frac{5}{8} \) of the 40 cups.

First, multiply the total number of cups by \( \frac{5}{8} \):

\[
\text{Number of cups sold} = 40 \times \frac{5}{8}
\]

Now, perform the multiplication:

\[
40 \times \frac{5}{8} = \frac{40 \times 5}{8} = \frac{200}{8} = 25
\]

So, Mary sold **25 yogurt cups**.
