Answer 1

$15600

Explanation:

Given:

If 100 people drink 1.5 cups of coffee a day and the cost per cup is 0.40

Question asked:

How much would it cost to provide coffee for the whole year if you're place is open 5 days a week ?

Solution:

As given that 100 people drink 1.5 cups of coffee a day:-

Total coffee sold in a day = 1.5 cups
`*` 100 = 150 cups

Cost of 1 cup of coffee = $0.40

Cost of 150 cups of coffee = $0.40
`*` 150 = $60

Thus, cost of coffees of 1 day = $0.60

As given that place is open 5 days a week and as we know that there are 52 weeks in a year:-

In 1 week, place is open for = 5 days

In 52 weeks, place is open for = 5
`*` 52 = 260 days

Cost of coffees sold in 1 day = $60

Cost of coffees of sold in 260 days = $60
`*` 260 = $15600

Therefore, it would be $15600 cost to provide coffee for the whole year by opening the place for 5 days a week.

Answer 2

It would cost 15600 to provide coffee for the whole year.

Explanation:

Given:

If 100 people drink 1.5 cups of coffee a day and the cost per cup is .40

Now, to find the cost to provide coffee for the whole year if you're place is open 5 days a week.

So, we have the unit rate, and we have to find the cost of 1.5 cup by multiplying 0.40.

1.5 cup of coffee cost
`1.5* 0.40=0.60.`

Thus, 1.5 cup cost 0.60.

If, 100 people drink 1.5 cups.

Then, total cost of 100 people drinking 1.5 cups of coffee =
`100* 0.60=60`

As, place is open 5 days a week.

So, to get the cost of coffee in 5 days of a week we multiply 5 by 60:

`5* 60\\\\=300.`

Hence, the cost of coffee in a week is 300.

In 1 year there are 52 weeks.

Now, to get the cost for the whole year we multiply 52 by 300:

`52* 300\\\\=15600.`

Therefore, it would cost 15600 to provide coffee for the whole year.
