Carla loves her coffee...she visits the Kind Bean every weekday morning and

about three days per week she stops in for an afternoon pick-me-up. With
tax and tip, she usually spends about $5 per visit. Brianna figures this is just
a little indulgence. Is she right?
Find out how much she spends per year on coffee.

Answer:

$2080

Explanation:

You want to know the annual cost of coffee purchased 5 mornings and 3 afternoons per week when each purchase amounts to $5.

Weekly cost

Five morning visits and three afternoon visits to the coffee shop will be a total of 8 visits per week. At $5 each, the cost per week is ...

8 × $5 = $40

Annual cost

The cost for a year will be the cost for 52 weeks:

52 × $40 = $2080

Carla spends $2080 per year on coffee.

Whether this is a "little indulgence" or not will depend on Carla's budget.
