For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
We have then:
q = represent the number of quarts of lemonade Raj has made so far.
p = represents the amount of powdered lemonade mix.
We then have the following linear equation:
p = -2.5q + 20
Answer:
An expression represents the amount of powdered lemonade mix left in the can is:
p = -2.5q + 20
