He uses 1 tablespoon of lime juice per drink so over 30 days that's 1*30 = <<1*30=30>>30 tablespoons of lime juice

He can get 2 tablespoons of lime juice per lime and he will use 30 tablespoons of lime juice so he will need 30/2 = 15 limes

The limes are 3 for $1.00 and he needs 15 limes so that's 15/3 = $5.00

Julio makes a mocktail every evening.  He uses 1 tablespoon of lime juice and tops with 1 cup of sparkling water.   He can usually squeeze 2 tablespoons of lime juice per lime.  After 30 days, if limes are 3 for $1.00, how much will he have spent on limes?
