Answer

There are 12 coke zeros and 24 coca-colas

Explanation:

If there are 36 drinks in total and the shop stocks 3 times as many cokes than coke zeros you would have to divide 36 by 3 and that gets you 12 coke zeros and to check your work you can do 12 times 3 which would be 3 times the cokes which makes a total of 36 and 36 - 12 = 24 cokes.
