Question

Lily runs a coffee shop and sells 21 cups of coffee in 6 hours. If this is three-fourth of the total number of cups she sells the whole day, find out the number of cups she sells in a day.

Answer 1

Answer:

The total number of cups Lily sells in a day is 28.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Lily sells 21 cups of coffee in 6 hours. And also given that the 21 cups is three-fourth of the total number of cups that she sells the whole day.

 Let the total number of cups be 'x'

 Then from the given statement, the equation can be written as follows,

      $\dfrac{3}{4} x=21$

Therefore, the total number of cups,

               $x=\dfrac{21\times 4}{3} = \dfrac{84}{3}$

               x = 28

Hence the total number of cups Lily sells in a day is 28.

         

       

We can also find the income by calculating the value of 'x'.

Hence the answer to the question is
