Question

A restaurant offers diet soda and regular soda. In one day they sold 81 diet sodas. If the ratio of diet sodas sold to regular sodas sold was 9:7, how many sodas were sold total?

Answer 1

Answer:

144

Step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of diet soda sold to regular soda sold = 9:7

hence diet soda sold =9x and regular soda sold =7x

given,

diet soda sold = 81

hence 9x =81

x = 9

7x = 7×9

7x = 63

total soda sold = 81+63= 144
