43 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the height of the one cup from the stack

73 - 10

The rest of the cup each add 1.5 cm to the stack

take the remaining height and divide by 1.5 for each cup

63 cm/ 1.5 cm per cup

42 cup

There are 42 cups in the remaining part of the stack

Plus the 1 cup that is 10 cm

42+1 = 43 cups total in the stack

$\boxed{\sf 43 \ cups}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The stack is 73 cm tall, one cup is 10 cm.

Let’s subtract the height of the one cup from the height of the stack.

$\sf 73 - 10\\=63$

The cups left each add 1.5 cm.

Let x be the cups left.

$\sf 1.5x=63\\x=\frac{63}{1.5} \\x=42$

Add the 1 to the cups left, because that first cup was subtracted from the height of the stack.

$\sf 42+1\\=43$
