To find the total number of cans of soft drinks Syd and Vangie have, we need to add the number of cans from each case they bought.
Syd bought 4 cases of drinks, and each case contains 24 cans.
So, Syd has 4 * 24 = 96 cans of soft drinks.
Vangie bought 12 cases of drinks, and each case contains 24 cans.
So, Vangie has 12 * 24 = 288 cans of soft drinks.
To find the total, we add the number of cans Syd and Vangie have: 96 + 288 = 384 cans.
Therefore, Syd and Vangie have a total of 384 cans of soft drinks.
