After Maria’s 8th cup of coffee one night during finals week, she remembered that high doses of caffeine can kill you. Maria was worried that she was more susceptible because she weighed only 47.7 kg. Maria did some research and found that 150 mg/kg of caffeine was lethal and the coffee she was drinking is 0.04% m/v caffeine. How many cups of coffee could Maria drink before she would likely die?
