Question

An economy package of cups has 660 green cups. If the green cups are 30% of the total package, how many cups are in the package?
A.
690
B.
198
C.
1,980
D.
2,200

Answer 1

To determine the total number of cups in the package, we can set up the equation based on the information given:

Let \( x \) be the total number of cups in the package.

We know that 30% of the total number of cups is equal to 660 green cups:

\[
0.30x = 660
\]

To find \( x \), we can divide both sides of the equation by 0.30:

\[
x = \frac{660}{0.30}
\]

Calculating the right side:

\[
x = 2200
\]

So, the total number of cups in the package is 2,200.

The correct answer is **D. 2,200**.
