Question

PLEASE HELP!!!!

Harry has a jar that contains 75% of apple juice and the rest water. The bottle has 1 liter of water.

Part A: Write an equation in one variable that can be used to find the total number of liters of apple juice and water in the jar. Define the variable used in the equation. (5 points)

Part B: How many liters of apple juice are present in the jar? Show your work. (5 points)

Answer 1

Part A:There is a 3/1 ratio of apple juice to water. If 25% is water and for every 25% is 1 liter. Then 1 litter + 3 litters = 4 litters of liquids.
Part B: So, you know that 25% equals 1 liter. 75/25 = 3 so 75% is 3 liters of Apple Juice.
