Answer:

119 bottles

Step-by-step explanation:

The given ratio is:


\text{Passion Fruit juice: Cherry juice: Mango juice=1:2:7}

There are 34 cherry juice bottles.

Let the total number of mango juice bottles = y.

Then, comparing cherry juice and mango juice:


\begin{gathered} (2)/(7)=(34)/(y) \\ 2y=34*7 \\ y=(34*7)/(2) \\ y=119 \end{gathered}

There are 119 bottles of mango juice.
