A manager is responsible for ordering supplies for a shaved ice shop. The shop's inventory starts with 4,500 paper cups, and the manager estimates that 70 of these paper cups are used each day. Based on this estimate, in how many days will the supply of paper cups reach 1,700?
Answer (2)
40 days ;
The shaved ice shop will take 40 days to reduce its inventory of paper cups from 4,500 to 1,700 cups. This is calculated by finding the total cups used and then dividing by the daily usage of 70 cups. The solution shows that after 40 days, the inventory will meet the target amount.
