Answer 1

Answer:

She missed her goal, because she made less than $75 on coffee today.

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Target profit = $75

Profit per cup = $0.80

Number of cups sold = 90

Profit made today = Profit per cup * Number of cups sold

= $0.80 * 90

= $72

She missed her goal, because she made less than $75 on coffee today.

2. (9.5 minus 3 times 1 and one-half) divided by 0.5

(9.5 - 3 * 1 1/2) ÷ 0.5

= 9.5 - 3 * 3/2 ÷ 0.5

= 9.5 - 9/2 ÷ 0.5

= (9.5 - 4.5) ÷ 0.5

= 5 ÷ 0.5

= 10
