Coffee costs $12 per case and tea cost $8 per case. If an order comes in for 250 cases for a total of $2,600 how many cases of coffee were ordered

Coffee = $12

Tea = $8

Total cost = $2600

Total Case = 250

Assumed all 250 cases are Tea

250 x 8 = 2000

Difference in amount

2600 - 2000 = 600 (so $600 was from the coffee)

Difference between the price of coffee and tea

12 - 8 = $4

Number of cases of coffee

600 : 4 = 150

Number of cases of tea

250 - 150 = 100

150 cases of coffee were ordered
