During the lunch break, a deli sold 36 large sodas. If the ratio of large sodas sold to small sodas sold was 4:1, how many sodas were sold in total?

Asked by mserickab1

Answer (3)

Since for every small soda 4 large sodas were sold U divide 36 by 4. You get 9 so that is the total of small sodas. Then add 9 and 36 and get 45 total sodas. :) hope this helped

36/x = 4/1 4x=36 x=9 + 36 = 45

A total of 45 sodas were sold, consisting of 36 large sodas and 9 small sodas, based on the 4:1 ratio of large to small sodas. We calculated the number of small sodas by dividing the large sodas by 4. Finally, we summed both numbers to find the total sold.
