There are 40 grams of sugar in a 12 oz can of Dr Pepper. If your max intake of sugar permitted for the day is 25 grams, how much of the Dr. Pepper can you drink?

To answer this question, we can set up a proportion:[tex] \frac{40g}{12oz} =\frac{25g}{x} [/tex]Then we cross multiply and solve for x:[tex] 40x=300 [/tex][tex] x=7.5oz [/tex]So you can drink 7.5 oz of the Dr. Pepper in one day.
