Adem is a coffee lover and he recently visited a new coffee shop. He ordered a large coffee with 15 ounces of coffee and 70 drops of cream. The barista asked him if he wanted to add any sugar, and Adem requested 15 packets of sugar. However, the barista only had 50 packets of sugar left, so she had to give Adem 3 packets of sugar for free. Now, Adem is wondering how much he has to pay for his coffee. Can you help him calculate the cost?

Answer 1

To calculate the cost, we need to know the price of each item.

Let's assume the cost of the large coffee is $2, the cost of each drop of cream is $0.10, and the cost of each packet of sugar is $0.50.

The cost of the coffee would be 15 ounces * $2/ounce = $<<15*2=30>>30.
The cost of the cream would be 70 drops * $0.10/drop = $<<70*0.10=7>>7.
The cost of the sugar would be 15 packets * $0.50/packet = $<<15*0.50=7.5>>7.5.

However, since the barista gave Adem 3 packets of sugar for free, the total cost of the sugar would be (15 - 3) packets * $0.50/packet = $6.

Therefore, the total cost of Adem's coffee would be $30 + $7 + $6 = $<<30+7+6=43>>43.

Adem would have to pay $43 for his coffee.
