How much is earned from the sale of hot chocolate?

Ratio expresses the relationship between two or more numbers. It shows  the number of times that one value is contained within other value(s).

Number of large cups bought = (3/8) x 64 = 24

Number of small cups bought = (5/8) x 64 = 40

Total revenue from selling large cups = 24 x 3.99 = $95.76

Total revenue from selling small cups = 40 x 2.99 = $119.60

Total profit = $119.60 + $95.76 = 215.36

Percentage earned from the sale of large cups = (95.76 / 215.36) x 100 = 44%
