What is the average number of cups of lemonade sold per hour?
Explanation
To find the average number of cups sold per hour, you must find the total number of cups sold and the total number of hours spent selling the cups. The total number of cups sold is 10 + 15 + 20 + 20 + 27 = 92. The total number of hours spent is 12 + 9 + 8 + 8 + 9 = 46. Next divide the total number of cups sold by the total number of hours spent to find the average number of cups sold per hour. Thus, 92/46 = 2 cups sold per hour.
