Question

Mei is making fruit punch.

She makes the fruit punch by mixing fruit juice and lemonade in the ratio 1 : 3.
The fruit juice costs £1.80 per litre.
The lemonade costs 75p per litre.
Work out the total cost of making 16 litres of fruit punch.

Answer 1

16.2p (If lemonade is .75p, if not substitute in the equation below)

Explanation:

In 4 liters, there would be 3 liters of lemonade and 1 liter in juice.

I am assuming 75p is meant to be .75p

So 4 liters costs: (1 x 1.8) + (3 x .75) = 4.05

We need 16 so: 4.05 x 4 = 16.2
