Sally likes soda very much.
At the local convenience store, for 5 empty soda bottles she receives a full bottle.
As part of the Girl Guide's recycling initiative, she manages to collect 77 empty bottles.
How many bottles of soda will she be able to drink in total?

19 bottles. After she drinks the initial 15 from 75 returned she would be able to return the 15 empty and get 3 more. the 3 more plus the extra 2 off the 77 she could get 1 more. 15+3+1= 19.

Well, she will be able to cash in for 15 new bottles of soda, after they are empty she can get 3 more, then she will get another for a grand total of 19....
and I didn't read the other answers - abut I bet she would have a huge bellyache if she drank them too fast!!

She'd recieve 15 bottles of soda to begin with,according to what is implied in the riddle, but she could turn those back in for 3 additonal (plus what was left over from the original group) for a total of 19. However, I have no idea how many she'd be able to drink in total. She might be able to handle it all at once and she might not. If she spreads it out over a few days, she'd have no trouble drinking all of them.

I say 18 bottles, she can get 15 from the recycling plan, but can reinvest those empty bottles in the program for 3 more.

19 as the cost of one drink is 4 empty bottles

As many as she's able to drink. She'll receive 15.4 full bottles in return for the 77 empties but I doubt she'll be able to drink them all!!! lol
