Question
Emerson is making a punch that contains 60% grape juice and the rest lemon-lime soda. The punch has 2 liters of lemon-lime soda. Part A: Write an equation using one variable that can be used to find the total number of liters of grape juice and lemon-lime soda in the punch. Define the variable used in the equation and solve the equation. Hint: 0.6x represents the number of liters of grape juice in the punch. (5 points) Part B: How many liters of grape juice are present in the punch? Show your work. (5 points)
Answer:
5l = 0.4l(1) + 0.6l(2)
Step-By-Step-Explenation
5l = Total litres.
0.4l = 0.4 represents % of lemon-lime soda in litres.
0.6l = 0.6 represents % of grape juice in litres.
For grape juice, make L(1) = 0 and find for L(2), you will get 3L
For lemon-lime soda, make L(2) = 0 and find for L(1), you will get 2L
3L + 2L = 5L.
60% + 40% = 100%
I think this is right but i really tried.!
Hope this helps!
