An economy package of cups has 250 green cups if the green cups are 10% of the total package, how many cups are in the package?

There are a total of 2500 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

10% of the cups are green

you can set up a equation for this

x = total cups

.10x = 250

multiply both sides by 10 to make x a whole number

x = 2500

x= -3 and

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

where a is the cube root of .

here   this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

.

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

this cubic has two complex roots.
