Answer 2

Answer:

He made 20  cups of coffee in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of cups remained =3

% of coffee consumed = 85%

x - 85/100 × x = 3

x - 17x/20 = 3

20x/20 - 17x/20 = 3

3x/20 = 3

3x = 3 × 20

3x = 60

x = 60/3

x = 20

He made totally 20 cups of coffee

Check ⇒

20 - 85/100 × 20 = 3

20 - 85/10 × 2 = 3

20 - 85/5 = 3

20 - 17 = 3

3 = 3
