Pumpkin Spice Coffee $10.50

Breakfast Tea $23.50

Answer:

Explanation:

4

Maximum amount to spend ≤ 65

Cost of dark roast coffee = $7.50

2 dark roast coffee= $7.50 * 2 = $15

Pumpkin Spice + dark roast ≤ amount to spend

Let pumpkin spice = x

Cost of pumpkin spice = $10.50

Dark Roast Coffee = y

10.50x + 2* 7.50 ≤ 65

10.50x + 15 ≤ 65

10.50x ≤ 65 - 15

10.50x ≤50

x ≤50 / 10.50

x ≤ 4.76

Number of pumpkin spice coffee that can be purchased is 4.
