An 8 oz cup of coffee has about 184 mg of caffeine. This is 5 times as much caffeine as in a 12 oz soft drink.

Write and solve an equation to find how much caffeine is in a 12 oz caffeinated soft drink. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

8 oz = 184 mg of caffeine 12 oz = 1/5 of 184 mg of caffeine
Let's say 12oz is x:
x = 184 * 1/5 or x = 184 / 5 x= 36,8 x = 37 (after rounding to the nearest whole number)
Answer: There are about 37 mg of caffeine in a 12 oz soft drink.

Let **x **be the quantity of caffeine in 12 oz of soft drink (in mg )
Given,
The quantity of caffeine in 8 oz cup of coffee = 184 mg,
According to the question,
5 times of x = caffeine in 8 oz cup of coffee,
⇒ 5x = 184
Which is the required equation,
By solving it,
x = 5 184 ​
⇒** x** = 36.8 ≈ 37 ,
Thus,** the caffeine in 12 oz of soft drink is 37 mg.** ;

The caffeine in a 12 oz soft drink is approximately 37 mg. This is calculated by setting up the equation 5x = 184, where x is the caffeine content in the soft drink. Dividing 184 by 5 gives 36.8 mg, which rounds to 37 mg.
