Question

A small cup holds 75% as bears as a large cup.

If the small cup holds 36 gummy bears, how many bears does the large cup hold?

Answer 1

Given:

A small cup holds 75% as bears as a large cup.

If the small cup holds 36 gummy bears

To find:

How many bears does the large cup hold?

Solution:

Let "x" be the no. of gummy bears that the large cup can hold.

No. of gummy bears the small cup holds = 36

Since the small cup can hold 75% as bears as the large cup, so we can form an equation as:

No. of gummy bears in the small cup = 75% of gummy bears in the large cup

i.e.,

$36 = \frac{75}{100} \times x$

$\implies 36 = \frac{3}{4} \times x$

$\implies x = \frac{36 \times 4}{3}$

$\implies x = 12 \times 4$

$\implies \bold{x = 48}$

Thus, the large cup can hold 48 gummy bears.
