Label Math! Counting Calories

Question:

The nutrition label on a 20 ounce energy drink says there are 110 calories in a serving. The label says the bottle equals 2.5 servings (making YOU do the math to figure out the actual calories If you drink the whole bottle -- which most of us do) So, If you drink the entire bottle -- how many calories will you consume?

If a 20 ounce bottle has 2.5 servings and one serving = 110 calories, the following math would give you the total:

110 x 2.5 servings = 275 calories
