Answer 1

To find the total number of 2 litre bottles of soft drink consumed in North America, we can set up and solve an equation using the given information.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many 2 litre bottles of soft drink were consumed in North America, we can set up an equation using the information provided. Let's say 'x' represents the total number of 2 litre bottles consumed in North America. We know that 6,984,750 is 5.08% of the total market.

So, we can set up the equation: 6,984,750 = 0.0508x

To solve for 'x', we divide both sides of the equation by 0.0508: x = 6,984,750 / 0.0508

Using a calculator, we find that x is approximately 137,365,748. So, it is estimated that approximately 137,365,748 2 litre bottles of soft drink were consumed in North America during that year.
