Q. Brandon's Diner offers its clients a choice of regular and diet soda. Last night, the diner served 1616 sodas in all, 88 of which were regular. What percentage of the sodas were regular?\newlineWrite your answer using a percent sign (%).\newline__\_\_
  1. Count Sodas: First, let's figure out how many sodas were regular and how many were served in total. We know 88 sodas were regular and 1616 sodas were served in total.
  2. Calculate Percentage: Next, to find the percentage of regular sodas, we use the formula: (Number of regular sodasTotal sodas served)×100(\frac{\text{Number of regular sodas}}{\text{Total sodas served}}) \times 100. So, (816)×100(\frac{8}{16}) \times 100.
  3. Final Result: Calculating that gives us (0.5)×100=50%(0.5) \times 100 = 50\%. So, 50%50\% of the sodas served were regular.
