Question

Lighting energy drink had 15.2 calories per fluid ounce (A) if Jeremy drinks two 12 ounce lighting energy drinks then how many calories does he consume (B) if Marlene consumes 252.84 calories of lighting energy drink then how many ounces did she comsume

Answer 1

From the information provided in the question, we can get a relationship between the number of calories and fluid ounces consumed:

`c=15.2f`

where

c = number of calories

f = amount of fluid ounces consumed.

QUESTION A

If Jeremy drinks 12 ounces, then we have that:

`f=12`

Therefore, the number of calories will be:

`\begin{gathered} c=15.2*12| \\ c=182.4 \end{gathered}`

He consumes 182.4 calories.

QUESTION B

If Marlene consumes 252.84 calories, then we have that:

`c=252.84`

Therefore, the number of ounces consumed will be:

`\begin{gathered} 252.84=15.2f \\ \therefore \\ f=(252.84)/(15.2) \\ f\approx16.6 \end{gathered}`

She consumes approximately 16.6 ounces.
