Answer:

Your answer will be [tex]12[/tex] cups of popcorn.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much the new bags hold, you need to find out the discount.

[tex]\frac{20}{100 } = .2[/tex]

[tex]15 * .2 = 3[/tex]

We know that the discount is [tex]3[/tex].

To figure out how much the new bags hold, subtract by the old bags.

[tex]15 - 3 = 12[/tex]

The new bags hold 12 cups of popcorn.
