To find the cost of 64 ounces of coffee based on the price of an 8-ounce cup, you can follow these steps:
1. **Determine the cost per ounce**:
\[
\text{Cost per ounce} = \frac{\text{Cost of 8 ounces}}{\text{Number of ounces}} = \frac{3.50}{8} = 0.4375 \text{ dollars per ounce}
\]
2. **Calculate the cost of 64 ounces**:
\[
\text{Cost of 64 ounces} = \text{Cost per ounce} \times 64 = 0.4375 \times 64 = 28.0 \text{ dollars}
\]
Thus, 64 ounces of coffee would cost **$28.00**.
