Solution

Step 1: First, we need to find out how much Michelle earns for each cup of lemonade she sells. We do this by dividing the total amount she earned ($28) by the total number of cups she sold (14).

28÷14=28 ÷ 14 = 2

So, Michelle earns $2 for each cup of lemonade she sells.

Step 2: Now, we need to find out how many cups of lemonade Michelle needs to sell to earn 48.Wedothisbydividingthetotalamountshewantstoearn(48. We do this by dividing the total amount she wants to earn (48) by the amount she earns for each cup ($2).
