This problem is very good example how easy and quick plug-in method might be.

Let the total # of cups be 10.
# of small cups sold 3/5*10=6;
# of large cups sold 10-6=4;

Let the price of small cup be $6, then the price of larges cup would be 7/6*6=$7;

Revenue from small cups: 6*$6=$36;
Revenue from large cups cups: 4*$7=$28;

Fraction of total revenue from large cups: 28/(36+28)=7/16.

Answer: A.
