Answer 5

Well my teacher is asking me to Write an equation in one variable that can be used to find the total number of liters of orange juice and water in the can.

Answer 6

Let x be
80% is orange juice. That means 20% is water.
Amount of water = x * 20 /100 = 0.2x
The amount of water = 1 liter.

0.2x = 1 is the equation in one variable where x is the total number of liters of orange juice and water combined.

Answer 7

Ok so is that for Part A? @ranga

Answer 8

Yes. Part A) 0.2x = 1 where x is the total number of liters of orange juice and water combined.

Part B)
0.2x = 1
Solve for x.

Orange juice is 80%. The amount of orange juice is: x * 80 / 100. Put x from solving the above equation.

Answer 9

okay do you know what i can put for part B? @ranga

Answer 10

x = 0? @ranga

Answer 11

0.2x = 1
Divide both sides by 0.2
x = 1 / 0.2 = ?

Answer 12

What is 1 divide by 0.2? (use calculator if you must but you shouldn't have to)

Answer 13

5 @ranga

Answer 14

yes, x = 5 which is the total number of liters of orange juice and water combined.

80% of it is orange juice. Therefore, the number of liters of OJ is:
5 * 80 / 100 = ?

Answer 15

All you have to do is multiply 5 and 80 and divide by 100.

Answer 16

5 * 80 / 100 = 4

Part B) 4 liters of orange juice.
