The Jonestown will be much colder compare to the
Cooperville.

See how the solution goes:

At 1:00, the both share the same temperature

Let X = the temperature of both town


Jonestown

=> 1:00 = x

=> 2:00 = x – 10

=> 3:00 = x – 10 – 8

At 3:00, Jonestown dropped a total of 18 degrees


Cooperville

=> 1:00 = x

=> 2:00 = x – 6

=> 3:00 = x – 6 – 2

At 3:00, Cooperville dropped 8 degrees only.
