a cup of coffee cost .75 cents more than a donut, maya buys 12 donuts and 2 cups of coffee for 19 dollars. how much is 1 cup of coffee

Answer 1

Let's assume the cost of a donut is x dollars.
According to the given information, the cost of a cup of coffee is x + 0.75 dollars.
Maya buys 12 donuts, which costs 12 * x = 12x dollars.
Maya also buys 2 cups of coffee, which costs 2 * (x + 0.75) = 2x + 1.5 dollars.
The total cost of all the purchases is 12x + 2x + 1.5 = 19 dollars.
Combining like terms, we get 14x + 1.5 = 19.
Subtracting 1.5 from both sides, we get 14x = 17.5.
Dividing both sides by 14, we get x = 1.25.
Therefore, the cost of a cup of coffee is 1.25 + 0.75 = 2 dollars. Answer: \boxed{2}.
