Question

Cathy's Coffee sales small and large coffees.

A small cup of coffee cost $4.
A large cup of coffee cost $6.
On Monday they sale 73 cups of coffee for $354. How many small cups of coffee did they sell? @iGreen

Answer 1

Do you know if those 73 cups were small cups or large cups?

Answer 2

small @k_lynn

Answer 3

well if you multiply 73 cups times 4, which is the price of the small cup of coffee, that gives you $292. So to find the amount left, you need to subtract $354 and $292. That gives you $62. So now what do you think you need to do?

Answer 4

i really don't know @k_lynn

Answer 5

Ok, well you need to divide $62 by $6 to find out how many large cups of coffee they sold. Does that make sense?

Answer 6

they sold 10.3 @k_lynn

Answer 7

Right. You probably want to round that down to 10 cups. But I think that's you're answer.
