If tracey 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
.
Previously,
Max spends $120 per month
Tracey spends $90 per month
.
To make their own:
1(30) = $30 per month
.
Therefore, they will save:
(120+90) - 30
= 210 - 30
= $180
.
That is, they will save $180 per month if they make their own coffee instead of buying it.

well max was spending $120, and tracey 90.
so all together they spend $210.
if they save a doller by making there own they
will save $30.
$1= $30 a month saved
so in one month they end up spending
$210-$30=$180

To have savings the cost has to be compared to another price. You didn't supply any hints as to another price.
Bottom line- bad question or bad copying

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.
