The answer would be C, because you have to divide.

we know that

Christopher consumed
600 calories by drinking
x number of sodas

so

by proportion

Find the number of calories that represent one soda


(600)/(x)(calories)/(sodas) =(y)/(1)(calories)/(soda) \\ \\y= (600)/(x)\ calories

therefore

the answer is the option C


(600)/(x)\ calories
