Moretti's Ristorante & Pizzeria has two different soda sizes, Regular and Large. The Regular size soda is 22 ounces and the Large soda is 64 ounces. By what percent does the amount of soda increase between the different soda sizes? Round to the nearest percent

Answer 1

280

Explanation:

Given that:

The two different sizes of soda are:

Regular = 22 ounce

Large = 62 ounce.

The objective is to determine by what percent does the amount of the soda increase between the different soda size.

i.e. The ratio of the larger size in respect to the regular size:

So,

62/22 = 2.82

Thus in percent, the amount of the soda increase between the different soda size = 2.82 × 100%

= 282 percent

To the nearest percent, it is = 280
