what is 25% of 4 cups?

anonymous · Answer

basically find 25% of how much he drinks daily
subtract that amount from the total amount he drinks
then convert it to oz

anonymous · Answer

ok i got it

8oz X 4 = 32 oz
 
Every 8oz = to 25% and four cups of 8oz coffee is = to 100%, so just subtract 32oz - 8oz =24 oz
 
Answer is 24oz
