1. 33 1/3 cans. If there is 3% caffeine found in the ( caffeine-free ) cola, it would take 100 divided by 3 to equal the same amount.
If it is 97% caffeine free, then that means it is 3% caffeine. A regular can is not 100% caffeine, it is merely more than 3%. If it was advertised as "97% less caffeine", only then is your answer correct.

that's what I said !!! it is not clear the it's 97% less of the total caffiene amount (which is unknown) or 97% of the whole can. 100% can of caffeine and you'd be a trucker for sure.(WICKY - please note the correct spelling of caffeine

6. A new medical building containing 100 offices has just been completed. Hardy Pyle was hired to paint the numbers 1 to 100 on the doors. How many times will Hardy have to paint the number nine ?
I just got to the questions now.
