Question

A store had 776 more diet sodas than regular. The ratio of diet sodas to regular sodas was 8:4. How many total sodas were there?

Answer 1

1114 sodas

Explanation:

If you simplify 8:4, you will get 2:1. Given that information, since there are twice as many diet sodas as regular sodas, all you have to do is divide 776 by 2. You should get 338. All you have to do now is add 776 and 338 to get 1114.
