Answer: 2200 total cups in the package.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's use a rule of 3 here.
We have a total package or 100% of the package full of cups. 880 of the cups represent 40% of the total package.
880 - 40%
We need to find the amount of cups (x) that represent 100% of the package
x - 100%
Let's do our chart.
[tex]\frac{880}{x}=\frac{40}{100}[/tex]
Solve for x
[tex]x=\frac{880*100}{40} \\x=2200[/tex]
