Answer 1

Step 1:

Cost of large cup = $5

Step 2:

Number of large David orders = 10 cups

A good plan to find the amount Jon spent is to find the number of large cups Jon orders from the number of large cups David orders.

Jon order 4 fewer large cups

Therefore,

Jon order = 6 cups

Step 3:

A good plan to find the amount Jon spent is to find the number of large cups Jon orders from the number of large cups David orders.

The amount Jon spent on coffee = 6 x $5 = $30
