    1,200 cups of coffee. Since your sales has been 20% lower than last year and you don't have any significant funds to additional advertising or promotions, you can expect your holiday sales to also be 20% lower than last year. So you expect to sell 100% - 20% = 80% of many coffee sales. So 0.80 * 1500 = 1200 So a realistic expectation for this year is 1,200 cups of coffee.
