Answer:

40 pup tents

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Ground A has area 300 and maximum capacity is 25 tents, so each tent would take up area of  300/25 = 12 sq yards.

Since Ground B's tents should occupy same area as Ground A's tents (12 sq. yards), the maximum capacity of this tent (480 sq yd) would be:

480/12 = 40 pup tents

This is the maximum capacity.
