Answer:

<h2>There are 664 diet soda</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

total soda= 913

we are told that the ratio of diet sodas to regular sodas is 8:3

this means that for every 8 diet soda there is 3 regular soda

the total ratio is 8+3=11

Step two:

we are going to use part to all principle

let the diet soda be x

8/11=x/913

cross multiply

11x=913*8

divide both sides by 11

x=913*8/11

x=7304/11

x=664

There are 664 diet soda

Okay to find percentages of things you have to take that original value (1500) and multuply it by the percentage. But when you multiply you put the percentage into a decimal and move it over to the right side two decimal places to the left. For example 10.0% would mean you need to multiply by 0.10 okay?

So for this problem you need to do 1500 *.013 and you get 19.5 computers.

When we evaluate a logarithm, we are finding the exponent, or power x, that the base b, needs to be raised so that it equals the argument m. The power is also known as the exponent.

$5^2 = 25 \to \log_5(25) = 2$
