A restaurant offers diet soda and regular soda. In one day they sold 36 diet sodas. If the ratio of diet sodas sold to regular sodas sold was 6 : 2, how many sodas were sold total?

48 sodas

Ratio of diet to regular = 6:2 = 3:1

For every 3 diet sodas sold, there was one regular soda sold

36/3 = 12

36:12 = 6:2 = 3:1

36 diet sodas and 12 regular sodas were sold

36+12=48

48 total sodas were sold that day

48 is total sold sodas because 36 (the diets) + 12 which is the regular sodas there is one third of the regular sodas
