Question

Dax is buying coffee for 5 5 people in his office. He also leaves a $2.00 $ 2.00 tip for the barista. If his total, with tip, is $18.25, $ 18.25 , how much is each cup of coffee, not including the tip? Enter your answer as a decimal, like this: 42.53

Answer 1

Answer:

$3.25

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the price of one cup of coffee without including Dax's two dollar tip, the first step is to subtract 2 from 18.25.

18.25 - 2= 16.25

16.25 is price of the five cups of coffee that Dax bought without the two dollar tip. The final step is to get the price of one cup of coffee which is basically:

16.25 ÷ 5 = 3.25
