A frozen juice machine fills 1440 cups in 24 hours a Write a

A frozen juice machine fills 1440 cups in 24 hours. a. Write and solve an equation to find the number c of cups each symbol represents. b. To lower costs, the cups are replaced by paper cones that hold 20% less. Write and solve an equation to find the number n of paper cones that can be fi lled in 24 hours.

number of c cups =30

Solution

1440 cups in 24 hrs

So, in 1 hr, 1440/24 = 60 cups

Thus, in 1/2 an hr, 60/2 = 30 cups can be filled

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Paper cones hold 20% less....
So, cone = 80% of cup
cone= 0.8 cup

So, if 1440 cups can be filled in 24 hrs,
then 1440/0.8
i.e 1800 cones can be filled in 24 hrs

1800 cones can be filled in 24 hrs ----> ANSWER
