Q. This year, Tea Off served a total of

1,026

cups of chamomile tea to its customers. The manager notes that this number is

40\%

lower than the last year. How many cups of chamomile tea did the cafe serve last year?

\newline

____ cups

Define Total Cups: Step $1$ : Define the previous year's total cups as $x$ . Reasoning: We know this year's total is $40\%$ less than last year's. Calculation: $x - 0.4x = 1,026$
Simplify Equation: Step $2$ : Simplify the equation to find $x$ . Reasoning: Combine like terms to isolate $x$ . Calculation: $0.6x = 1,026$
Solve for x: Step $3$ : Solve for x to find last year's total. $\newline$ Reasoning: Divide both sides by $0.6$ to find $x$ . $\newline$ Calculation: $x = \frac{1,026}{0.6}$
