Answer:

120

Explanation:

So a ratio of 3:2:7 means that for every 3 orange juice bottles there are 2 passion fruit juice bottles, and 7 grape juice bottles.

I you have 20 passion fruit juice bottles you are increasing the ratio by a rate of 10. (20/2 = 10)

Therefore we need to multiply the ratio by 10.

3*10 = 30

2*10 = 20

7*10 = 70

Now we have the total number of each type of juice. Since it's asking the total number we need to add all three.

30 + 20 +70 = 120

Therefore there are 120 total juice bottles.
