Question

Martin combined different amounts of orange juice, pineapple juice, and strawberry juice to make 1850 milliliters (ml) of fruit punch. The amount of orange juice combined was x ml. The amount of pineapple juice combined was 100 ml more than the amount of orange juice, and the amount of strawberry juice was half the amount of orange juice. This is represented in the equation below.
x + (x + 100) + 1/2 x = 1850
What was the difference in the amounts of pineapple juice and strawberry juice Martin combined?

Answer 1

Solve for x first , then subtract the amount of pineapple juice with the amount of strawberry juice.

Answer 2

I tried it, but I got a weird equation

Answer 3

x + x + 100 + 0.5x = 1850
2.5x + 100 = 1850
2.5x = 1750
x = 700
