She buys a $4.00 latte in the morning for 5 days so that’s 4 * 5 = $20.00. She buys a $2.00 iced coffee 3 days a week so that’s 2 * 3 = $6.00. In one week she spends $20.00 on lattes and $6.00 on iced coffee for a total of 20 + 6 = $26.00. After 1 year, 52 weeks, she spends 52 * 26 = $1,352.00. She wants to cut her coffee spending by 25% so that will save her .25 * 1352 = $338.00. So, the answer is 338.
