A.
29% of orange sodas sold are small, and 12% of large servings sold are colas.
B.
12% of orange sodas sold are small, and 53% of large servings sold are colas.
C.
53% of orange sodas sold are small, and 53% of large servings sold are colas.
D.
29% of orange sodas sold are small, and 53% of large servings sold are colas.
E.
53% of orange sodas sold are small, and 12% of large servings sold are colas.
A. 29% of orange sodas sold are small, and 12% of large servings sold are colas.
To find the percentage of orange sodas that are small servings, we need to divide the number of small orange sodas by the total number of orange sodas sold, and then multiply by 100.
The total number of orange sodas sold is 51 + 37 + 9 = 97.
The number of small orange sodas sold is 51.
Percentage of orange sodas that are small = (51 / 97) * 100 = 52.58%.
To find the percentage of large servings that are colas, we need to divide the number of large colas by the total number of large servings sold, and then multiply by 100.
The total number of large servings sold is 9 + 17 + 6 = 32.
The number of large colas sold is 17.
Percentage of large servings that are colas = (17 / 32) * 100 = 53.13%.
Rounding these percentages to the nearest whole number, we get that 29% of orange sodas sold are small, and 53% of large servings sold are colas.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
D. 29% of orange sodas sold are small, and 53% of large servings sold are colas.
To find the percentage of orange sodas sold that are small, we need to divide the number of small orange servings by the total number of orange servings and multiply by 100.
From the given table, we can see that the number of small orange servings is 51.
The total number of orange servings is the sum of the small, medium, and large servings, which is 51 + 37 + 9 = 97.
So, the percentage of orange sodas sold that are small is (51/97) * 100 ≈ 52.6%.
To find the percentage of large servings sold that are colas, we need to divide the number of large cola servings by the total number of large servings and multiply by 100.
From the given table, we can see that the number of large cola servings is 17.
The total number of large servings is the sum of the large servings for each type of soda, which is 17 + 6 = 23.
So, the percentage of large servings that are colas is (17/23) * 100 ≈ 73.9%.
Rounding these percentages to the nearest whole number, we get 53% and 74%.
Therefore, the correct answer is E. 53% of orange sodas sold are small, and 12% of large servings sold are colas.
