A pitcher originally contains a juice drink with 20 percent cranberry juice. After 4 ounces of cranberry juice is added, the new drink is one-fourth cranberry juice. How many total ounces of juice drink are in the pitcher after the addition of the cranberry juice?

X=total ounces in pitcher
20%=0.2
1/4=0.25

0.2x+4=0.25x
-0.2x -0.2x
4=0.05x
4/0.05=x
80=x

80 total ounces
