If Tracy and Max make their own specialty blend of coffee, they estimate that it costs about $1.00 for every 2 cups of coffee. Determine how much they are saving by making their own coffee.
$1.00/2=.50X3=1.50X30=$45 per month
(90+240)-45
= 330-45
=$285.00
That is, they will save $285. Per month if they make their own coffee instead of buying it
