Question

A restaurant offers diet soda and regular soda.In one day they sold 64 sodas.If 28 of the sodas they sold were diet, what is the ratio of regular sodas sold to diet sodas sold?

Answer 1

Answer: The ratio of regular sodas sold to diet sodas sold is 9:7

Step-by-step explanation:

The restaurant offers diet soda and regular soda.

In one day they sold a total of 64 sodas. If 28 of the sodas they sold were diet sodas, the rest would be regular sodas. Therefore, the number of regular sodas sold will be 64 - 28 = 36 regular sodas. The ratio of regular sodas sold to diet sodas sold would be the number of regular sodas sold divided by the number of diet sodas sold. It becomes

36/28 = 18/14 = 9/7
