Official Explanation
According to the bar graph, the minimum amount of caffeine in a 5-ounce cup of percolated coffee is approximately 40 milligrams. Therefore, the minimum amount of caffeine in two 10-ounce cups of percolated coffee, which is the same as the minimum amount of caffeine in four 5-ounce cups, is approximately (40)(4), or 160 milligrams. The minimum amount of caffeine in a 12-ounce caffeinated soft drink is approximately 30 milligrams. So, the minimum amount of caffeine in two 10-ounce mugs of percolated coffee and one 12-ounce caffeinated soft drink is approximately 160 + 30, or 190 milligrams.
The correct answer is Choice B.
