Let x = the volume of orange juice and water in the can. Eighty percent of the volume in the can is orange juice. So the volume of orange juice = .8x The volume of water in the can is given as 1 liter. So we have the volume of orange juice plus the volume of water equaling the volume of liquid (orange juice and water) in the can. So the formula would be this: .8x+1=x Solving for x we get this: .2x=1 Which equals 5 liters of liquid in the can. Since 1 liter of the liquid in the can is water, then the amount of orange juice must be 5 liters - 1 liter = 4 liters of orange juice. So there are 4 liters of orange juice in the can.
