We have the following variable:
 x = The amount of orange juice
 We have the following equation:
 x + (× + 100) + 1/2 × = 1850
 We clear x:
 (5/2) x + 100 = 1850
 (5/2) x = 1850 - 100
 (5/2) x = 1750
 x = 1750 / ((5/2))
 x = 700 ml
 pineapple juice = × + 100 = 700 + 100 = 800 mL
 strawberry juice = 1/2 × = (1/2) 700 = 350 mL
 The difference is:
 800 - 350 = 450 mL
 Answer:
