A cup of hot chocolate has temperature 80 C in a room kept at 20 C.?

After a half hour the hot chocolate cools to 60 C.

a) what is the temperature of the hot chocolate after another half hour?

b) when will the chocolate have cooled to 40 C?

I think I know how to do b, I'm mostly struggling with part a. An explanation of how to do each steps would be much appreciated.
