Now,it is given that Coffee consumed by women each day = 5 cups

Since 1 cup takes 8 ounces of coffee.

Therefore, 5 cups = 5 x 8 ounces

⇒5 cups = 40 ounces

Now required percentage of reduction = 75%

So Required ounces of coffee reduction  = 75% of 40 ounces

⇒Required ounces of coffee reduction = 75/100* 40 ounces

⇒Required ounces of coffee reduction  = 30 ounces

Therefore ounces of coffee women is allowed to take = 40-30 ounces

                                                                                           = 10 ounces
