Question

Stanley's Diner offers its clients a choice of regular and diet soda. Last night, the diner served 32 sodas in all, 25% of which were regular. How many regular sodas did the diner serve?

Answer 1

Answer: 8 of the sodas were regular. (24 were diet)

Step-by-step explanation: If 32 sodas were served and 25% were regular, we just need to multiply the 25% by the 32 sodas.

0.25 x 32 = 8

We can check this by saying that 25% is a fourth, and if we got 8, then 8 times 4 should equal 32.

8 x 4 = 32.
