Identify amounts sold: Identify the amounts sold. Caffeinated coffee sold: 9 9/10 carafes. Decaffeinated coffee sold: 2 3/10 carafes.Convert to improper fractions: Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions for easier addition. Caffeinated coffee: $9 \frac{9}{10} = \frac{99}{10}$. Decaffeinated coffee: $2 \frac{3}{10} = \frac{23}{10}$.Add fractions: Add the fractions. $\frac{99}{10} + \frac{23}{10} = \frac{122}{10}$.Convert back to mixed number: Convert the improper fraction back to a mixed number. $\frac{122}{10} = 12 \frac{2}{10}$, which simplifies to $12 \frac{1}{5}$.
