Alexa used 320 ounces of lemonade and sold twice as many small cups as large cups. Determine the number of small cups sold and the number of large cups sold.

l = large cups       amount of large cups = 16 x  ounces

small cups = 2x     amount of small cups = 8 (2x)      summed = 320 ounces

 

16x      +     8 (2x)       =    320        solve for 'x' the number of 16 ounce cups, the 8 ounce cups = 2x
