Question

The table below shows the total number of drink sales at the football game last Saturday in the first hour: Drinks and number (45 Lemonade) (31 Fruit Punch) (47 Bottled Water) (27 Ice Tea) What percent of the drink sales came from lemonade and ice tea combined? A 42% 54% D 46%

Answer 1

Total number of drinks sold = 45 + 31 + 47 +27 = 150

Lemonade and ice tea = 45 +27 = 72

Divide the number of lemonades and ice tea drinks sold, by the total number of drinks sold.

72 / 150 = 0.48

Multiply by 100

0.48 x 100 = 48% (option A)
