Question

Punch recipe Ginger Ale 40% Orange Juice 25% Pineapple juice 20% Sorbet 15% Question 1: If you have 3 cups of pineapple juice, how many total cups of punch can you make? Question 2: Elise does not like sorbet, so she omits that ingredient and adds 5 percent of each of the other ingredients. How many cups of punch will she have if she uses 6 cups of orange juice?

Answer 1

1) 15 cups
2) 20 cups

Answer 2

Question 1: 15 cups

20% (pineapple juice) = 3 cups, 100/20=5, 5*3 = 15 cups

Question 2: 20 cups

25% (orange juice) + 5% = 30%

30% (orange juice) = 6 cups, 30/6=5%, 100/5=20

I can't explain the whole thing very clearly, but hope it helped
