A. 29% of orange sodas sold are small, and 12% of large servings sold are colas.
To calculate the percentage of orange sodas that are small, we divide the number of small orange sodas (51) by the total number of orange sodas sold (51 + 37 + 9).
Percentage of small orange sodas = (51 / (51 + 37 + 9)) x 100 ≈ 38%
To calculate the percentage of large servings that are colas, we divide the number of large cola servings (17) by the total number of large servings sold (9 + 17 + 6).
Percentage of large cola servings = (17 / (9 + 17 + 6)) x 100 ≈ 47%
Rounding these numbers to the nearest whole number, we get:
The correct answer is:
A. 29% of orange sodas sold are small, and 12% of large servings sold are colas.
