Answer:

<h2>The manager has to by 2,000 sodas and 2,500 water drinks.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

From the problem we know that the manage needs to buy a total of 4,500 drinks between water and soda, this can be expressed as

w+s=4500

Where w is water and s is soda.

Then, it's given that there is needed 25% more water than soda, which can be expressed as

w=s+0.25s=1.25s

Which means that water represents 125% of the soda, because we must include the additional 25% more water over soda.

Then, we replace the second relation into the first one

w+s=4500\\1.25s+s=4500\\2.25s=4500\\s=\frac{4500}{2.25}=2000

Now, we replace this value in one equation to obtain the other one

w+2000=4500\\w=4500-2000\\w=2500

Therefore, the manager has to by 2,000 sodas and 2,500 water drinks.
