Answer:
5 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
To do this simply, we can just count up how many cups we can buy.
starting balance=
$12.50
after cup 1=
12.5−2.5=$10.00
after cup 2=
10−2.5=$7.50
after cup 3=
7.5−2.5=$5.00
after cup 4=
5−2.5=$2.50
after cup 5=
2.5−2.5=$0.00
From this, we can see that after buying the 5th
cup, the buyer is out of money, so that means that you can buy
5 cups of food to feed the animals before running out of money.
