Question: James replaces the coffee for the household. There are 3 other people in the house and everyone drinks 2 cups of coffee a day. It takes .5 ounces of coffee per cup of coffee. If coffee costs $1.25 an ounce, how much does he spend on coffee a week?
Answer:
There are 3 + 1 = 4 people in the house. So they drink 4 * 2 = 8 cups of coffee a day. That means they use 8 * .5 = 4 ounces of coffee a day. So they use 4 * 7 = 28 ounces of coffee a week. So he spends 28 * 1.25 = $35. The answer is 35.
