You have 10 gallons of lemonade to sell. (1 gal $\approx$ 3785 cm3)

A conical paper cup is shown. Its height is 11 centimeters and the diameter of its base is 8 centimeters.

a. Each customer uses 1 paper cup. The cups are sold in packages of 50. How many packages should you buy?

b. How many cups will be left over if you sell 80% of the lemonade?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of cone cup = ⅓πr²h = ⅓π4²·11 ≅ 184.31 cm³

10 gal × 3,785 cm³/gal = 37,850 cm³

37,850 cm³ × (1 cone)/(184.31 cm³) ≅205.4 cones

Buy 5 packages (250 cones).

8 gal × 3,785 cm³/gal = 30,280 cm³

30,280 cm³ × (1 cone)/(184.31 cm³) ≅165 cones

250 - 165 = 85 cones left over

a). Number of packs of cups to be purchased = 5 packs

b). Number of cups remaining if 80% lemonade is sold = 85 cups

Volume of a cone:

  •  Volume of a cone is given by the expression,

          [tex]V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h[/tex]

          Here, r = radius of the cone

                    h = Height of the cone

Given in the question,

  •  Radius of the cone = [tex]\frac{8}{2}[/tex] = 4 cm
  •  Height of the cone = 11 cm
  •  Amount of lemonade = 10 gallons

a). Volume of one cone = [tex]\frac{1}{3}\pi (4)^2(11)[/tex]

                                        = 184.307 cm³

    Covert the gallons into cubic cm,

   ∵ 1 gallon = 3785 cm³

   ∴ 10 gallons = 37850 cm³

   ∵ 184.307 cm³ volume represents the number of cones = 1

   ∴ 1 cm³ will represent the voulume = [tex]\frac{1}{184.307}[/tex] cups

   ∴ 37850 cm³ will represent the volume = [tex]\frac{37850}{184.307}[/tex] cups

                                                                      = 205.36 cups

                                                                      ≈ 205 cups

     Therefoe, number of packs of cups to be bought = [tex]\frac{205}{50}[/tex]

                                                                                         = 5 packs

b). If 80% of the lemonade are sold, amount of lemonade sold = 10 × [tex]\frac{80}{100}[/tex]

                                                                                                        = 8 gallons

    Volume of 8 gallons lemonade in cm³ = 8 × 3785

                                                                     = 30280 cm³

    Therefore, number of cups to be used = [tex]\frac{30280}{184.307}[/tex] cups

                                                                     = 164.29 cups

                                                                     ≈ 164 cups

    Number of cups purchased = 250

    And the number of cups remaining = 250 - 164

                                                                 = 86 cups

    Therefore, number of cups remaining are 86 cups.
