well this could go two different ways.

all five cups could be one dollar each and it would simply just be $5.

you could also do all five cups could cost 2 dollars each that would equal 10 dollars in total

Answer: So the cost of each cup is $4.00.

We know that the cost of 5 cups of coffee is under $20.00. To find out the cost of each cup we need to divide the total amount by the number of cups.

$20.00 / 5 = $4.00

So the cost of each cup is $4.00.

Explanation:

hope this helps
