Answer:

70 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

C. P. of lemonade supplies = $5.25

S. P. of one cup of lemonade = $1.50

Let us assume that she should sell n cups of lemonade to make a profit of $100.00.

Therefore, S. P of n cups = $1.50n

Since,

Profit = S. P. - C. P.

Therefore,

100 = 1.5n - 5.25

100 + 5.25 = 1.5n

105.25 = 1.5n

n = 105.25/1.5

n = 70.1666667

n = 70 cups
