Part B: How many liters of orange juice are present in the can? Show your work. (5 points)

Respuesta :

B) Since 80% is orange juice so you know that 20% is water. And it says there is 1L water. Therefore 20% = 1.       (4) X 20%=1 X (4)    The answer is 4L of orange juice.

A) I am not sure Sorry.

Answer:

80% juice : 20% water

x  : 1 liter

80 ÷ 20 = 4

1 liter x 4 = 4 liter

x = 4

Part a = x÷4 or x/4

Part b = 4 liter
