The nutrition label on a 20 ounce energy drink says there are 110 calories in a serving. That’s simple if a serving is 20 ounces. But, the label says the bottle equal 2.5 servings. If you drink the whole bottle—which most of us do—how many calories did you consume?
300 calories
200 calories
250 calories
225 calories
275 calories

If a 20 ounce bottle has 2.5 servings and one serving equals 110 calories you can approach the math in two ways. You can multiply 110 calories by 2.5 servings to equal 275 calories. You multiplied the amount of calories in 1 serving times the total number of servings in the bottle. Or, a more visual approach to the same problem is to think about the energy drink as 2 1⁄2 glasses. Add 110 (8 ounces) + 110 (8 ounces) + 55 (4 ounces) to equal 275 calories in 20 ounces.
