If you have 50 cans of soda, how many are grape?

Question

If you have 50 cans of soda, and there are 12 more cans of grape than orange, how many of each kind do you have?

Answer 1

19 grape
31 orange

Answer 2

Do you have any other flavors?

Possibly answers include:

1 orange, 13 grape, 36 lime

or 10 orange 22 grape and 18 cola

or 0 orange, 12 grape and 8 cola, 10 lemon 19 raspberry and one ginger beer

Or (if you want to be boring) 19 orange and 31 grape

p.s. it is healthier to drink water

Answer 3

I have 19 orange and 31 grape

Answer 4

You can solve it like this:

no of orange cans= x
no of grape cans = x+12

Total amount of cans=50=x+(x+12)

50 = 2x +12

50-12 = 2x

38= 2x

x= 38/2=19

So you have 19 cans of orange, and 19+12=31 cans of grape

Answer 5

There are 31 cans of grape soda and 19 cans of orange soda.

Answer 6

Here is one possible answer (and it is true):

I do not like grape soda, so I would have zero grape sodas in my house.

I had 12 cans of orange soda, but I finished them and threw them away.

The remaining 38 sodas could be Sprite, or any kind or combination as long as they do are not grape or orange!

This is a legitimate answer, but it is not the answer you seek.

Answer 7

19 orange and 31 grape

Answer 8

19 orange and 31 grape

Answer 9

31 grape cans. 19 orange.

Answer 10

you have to assign a value for orange cans(x), so now we can assign a value for the grape cans(x+12). We end up with the formula x+(x+12)=50.
2x+12=50.
2x=38.
x=19.
19 cans of orange. 31 cans of grape.
