It's worded pretty weird I'm not sure how to interpret it either.

anonymous · Answer

Well I know there is a total of 5 liters.

anonymous · Answer

80% of the whole can is OJ and 1 liter of it is water. That must mean that 20% of the whole can is water. So this means that 20% = 1 liter 20% x 5 = 100% 1 liter x 5 = 5 liters.
