The patient is recommended to take 24 ounces of coffee per day.

Explanation:

Patient normal intake of coffee daily = 5 times 12 ounces

= 5 × 12 = 60 ounces

Doctor recommends to cut off 60 % of the normal intake of coffee.

And advised to take only 40 % of the daily intake of coffee.

So 60 % of 60 ounces can be calculated as,


$(60 * 60)/(100)= 36 ounces

40 % of 60 ounces is 24 ounces.

So 60 - 36 = 24 ounces of coffee per day
