You work it backwards.
-- If there were 4 children and each child got 4 pieces,
then the children got (4 x 4) = 16 pieces altogether.
-- That's what was left after he took 2 pieces for himself.
So he started with (16 + 2) = <em>18 pieces</em>.
There is 3.7 grams of sugar in each ounce of sugar Buzz.
Two variables are said to be proportional or have a proportional relationship when they have equivalent ratios. That is they increase or decrease by a factor.
Let x represent the size of Sugar Buzz soft drink and let y represent the amount of sugar.
y is proportional to x, hence:
y = kx; k is the constant of proportionality.\
When x = 12 ounce, y = 44.4 grams, hence:
12k=44.4
k = 3.7 gram per ounce
Therefore there is 3.7 grams of sugar in each ounce of sugar Buzz.
