Bruce has a bottle that contains 60% of lemon water. The bottle has 1 liter of water.

Part B: How many liters of lemon juice are present in the bottle? Show your work

Answer 1

liters of lemon + liters of water = volume
liters of lemon = .6*volume.

volume = liters of lemon/.6

Substitute

liters of lemon + liters of water =liters of lemon/.6

Let L = liters of lemon

L+1=L/.6
.6L + .6 =L
.6=L-.6L
.6=.4L

So .6=.4L is part a

L=.6/.4 = 1.5 liters of lemon is part b
