Question

A truck is carrying grapefruit juice, pineapple juice, and tomato juice bottles in a ratio of 3 : 1 : 2. If there are 14 pineapple juice bottles, then how many juice bottles in total are there?

Answer 1

84 juice bottles

Explanation:

Given the ratio of grapefruit juice, pineapple juice, and tomato juice bottles as

3:1:2

Let the total number of bottles available be R

If there are 14 pineapple juice bottles, then

1/(3 + 1 + 2) * R = 14

1/6 * R = 14

multiply both sides by 6

R = 14 * 6

= 84

This means there are 84 bottles in all
