well take traic and max cost and add them devied them by 12.so go
90+240=$330 a month so the devied by 12 so go $330/12= $27.5 a day for both.
part 2
take 2*12 so it's $24 so go $27.50-24=$3.5 so they save $3.50 together if no together they save $1.75

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
