Question

A coffee shop sells its coffee for $2.50 per cup.

In April they had total sales of $31,250.
In May they sold 10,150 cups of coffee.
Their total sales in June was the average of what they sold in April and May.

How many cups of coffee were sold in April?
What was the total sales ($$$) for May?
How many cups of coffee were sold and what was the total dollars in sales for the month of June?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let's call the number of cups sold in April "x".

The total sales in April were $31,250, so we can set up an equation to find x:

2.50 * x = 31,250

Dividing both sides by 2.50, we get:

x = 12,500

So in April, 12,500 cups of coffee were sold.

The total sales in May were 10,150 cups * $2.50 per cup = $25,375.

The average of the sales in April and May was $31,250 + $25,375 / 2 = $28,312.50.

So in June, they sold $28,312.50 / $2.50 per cup = 11,250 cups of coffee.

Answer 2

Answer: There were 12,500 cups sold in April. In May they made $25,375. They sold 11,325 cups and made $28,312.50 in June.

Explanation:

To find the cups of coffee sold in April, we will divide the total sales by price per cup.

$31,250 / $2.50 = 12,500 cups

To find the total sales for May, we will multiply the cups sold by the price per cup.

10,150 * $2.50 = $25,375

If they sold the average of April and May in June, we will find the average of April and May.

12,500 cups in April + 10,150 cups in May = 22,650

22,650 / 2 = 11,325 cups sold in June

Then, to find the dollar sales, we will multiply by the price per cup again.

11,325 * $2.50 = $28,312.50
