Answer:

Cranberry juice needed to fill the bottle = 5.2 cups

Explanation:

sports drink mix:

Orange juice = 25%

Cranberry juice = 65%

Sprite = 10%

His bottle holds 8 cups of drink.

How much cranberry juice does she need to fill the bottle?

Cranberry juice needed to fill the bottle = 65% of 8 cups

= 65/100 × 8

= 0.65 × 8

= 5.2 cups

Cranberry juice needed to fill the bottle = 5.2 cups

Orange juice needed to fill the bottle = 25% of 8 cups

= 25/100 × 8

= 0.25 × 8

= 2 cups

Orange juice needed to fill the bottle = 2 cups

Sprite needed to fill the bottle = 10% of 8 cups

= 10/100 × 8

= 0.1 × 8

= 0.8 cups

Sprite needed to fill the bottle = 0.8 cups
