Count Sodas: First, let's figure out how many sodas were regular and how many were served in total. We know 8 sodas were regular and 16 sodas were served in total.
Calculate Percentage: Next, to find the percentage of regular sodas, we use the formula: (Total sodas servedNumber of regular sodas)×100. So, (168)×100.
Final Result: Calculating that gives us (0.5)×100=50%. So, 50% of the sodas served were regular.
