Answer: 200 kcal

 

SOLUTION

 

Given,

A bottle of drink has four eight-ounce (1-cup) servings per bottle.

There are 50 kcal per cup

Amount of kcal per bottle = ?

 

1 bottle = 4 cups

1 cup = 50 kcal

1 bottle = 4 cups = 4 x 50 kcal

1 bottle = 4 cups = 200 kcal

 

Therefore, there are 200 kcal in the whole bottle

Answer 2

200 kCal In this problem we have 4 servings of 50 kCal each. So we just need to multiply. 4 * 50 kCal = 200 kCal So the entire bottle has a total of 200 kCal.
