Answer: 3.375oz
Explanation
Given
• Reduce his daily soda intake by 25%.
,• Currently, he drinks 4.5oz. cans of soda per day.
,• Ounces of soda can the patient drink if he reduces his intake by 25%?
We have to build a relation, where 4.5 is our 100% and x is 75% (100 - 25 = 75%):
[tex]\frac{x}{75}=\frac{4.5}{100}[/tex][tex]x=\frac{4.5}{100}\cdot75[/tex]Solving for x:
[tex]x=4.5\cdot0.75[/tex][tex]x=3.375[/tex]
