Take a Little Coffee Break
Helen Keller Middle School's New Haven Math Trail
Leave Old Campus the same way
you came in, through Phelps Gate. Turn right on Elm Street and walk to the next intersection. Cross
the street and turn right onto Chapel Street. Walk to Starbucks, which is located on the corner of
Chapel Street and High Street.
Mr. Cockerham loves Starbucks café mocha. If you're in his group you'll have to wait while he stops in
for a cup. Starbucks coffee comes in three sizes - tall, grande, and venti. The tall holds 12 ounces,
the grande 15 ounces, and the venti 20 ounces. Which of these offers the best buy? Show your work and
explain your reasoning in the space provided.
(Please keep in mind that Starbucks is a business and that we shouldn't get in the way of their customers
or employees. Perhaps it would be a good idea to send one or two people in to get the prices and then
complete the question later.)
