Question

Deb's Diner offers its clients a choice of regular and diet soda. Last night, the diner served 34 sodas in all, 50% of which were regular. How many regular sodas did the diner serve?

Answer 1

The question tells us that out of the 34 sodas served, 1/2 of them (or 50%)

We can set this equation up by saying: 34 x .50

If we plug this into a calculator we get:

17 regular sodas served by the diner
