A store had 913 sodas, both diet and regular. The ratio of diet sodas to regular sodas was 8:3. How many diet sodas were there?

Answer :

Answer:

There are 664 diet soda

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

total soda= 913

we are told that the ratio of diet sodas to regular sodas is 8:3

this means that for every 8 diet soda there is 3 regular soda

the total ratio is 8+3=11

Step two:

we are going to use part to all principle

let the diet soda be x

8/11=x/913

cross multiply

11x=913*8

divide both sides by 11

x=913*8/11

x=7304/11

x=664

There are 664 diet soda
