Question

The physician tells a woman who usually drinks 5 cups of coffee daily to cut down on her coffee consumption by 75%. If this woman is
compliant with the physician's instruction, how many ounces of coffee is she allowed daily?

Answer 1

1 cup=8 ounces

5*8=40

Each day the women drinks 40 oz of coffee.

40oz-75%=10oz

Thus, if the women complies to the physician's instructions, she can drink 10oz or about 1.25 cups of coffee daily.
