Question

Clayton's Cafe offers two kinds of espresso: single-shot and double-shot. Yesterday afternoon, the cafe sold 8 espressos in all, 50% of which were single-shot. How many single-shot espressos did the cafe sell?

Answer 1

Answer: If 50% of the 8 espressos sold were single-shot, that means the other 50% must have been double-shot.

To find out how many single-shot espressos were sold, we can calculate 50% of 8, which is:

0.5 x 8 = 4

So the cafe sold 4 single-shot espressos.

To find out how many double-shot espressos were sold, we can calculate the other 50% of 8, which is also 4.

Therefore, the cafe sold 4 single-shot espressos and 4 double-shot espressos in total.
