Verified Answer :

Answer:

60% of the total cans of drink remaining on the shelf are Cola

Step-by-step explanation:

240 cans of drink

5:3:2 ratio

240/10 = 24

units of 24

5 x 24 = 120

3 x 24 = 72

2 x 24 = 48

120 cans of cola

72 cans of lemonade

48 cans of orange

1/2 of the lemonade cans are removed along with 1/12 of the cans of the orange

72 x 1/2 = 36 removed (lemonade)

48 x 1/12 = 4 removed (orange)

36 + 4 = 40

40 cans removed total

240 - 40 = 200 remaining cans

120 of those 200 cans are cola

120/200 = 12/20 = 6/10 = .60 or 60%
