Martin combined different amounts of orange juice, pineapple juice, and strawberry juice to make 1850 milliliters (ml) of fruit punch. The amount of orange juice combined was x ml. The amount of pineapple juice combined was 100 ml more than the amount of orange juice, and the amount of strawberry juice was half the amount of orange juice. This is represented in the equation below: x + (x + 100) +1/2 x = 1850 What was the difference in the amounts of pineapple juice and strawberry juice Martin combined?
100 ml 450 ml 700 ml 950 ml

So, first you want to solve for X. |dw:1421540023403:dw| (excuse the crosses, i accidentally wrote a different number) So, if there is 700 mL of OJ, There is 800 mL of Pineapple juice, and 350 mL of strawberry juice in the mixture. Since the word difference in Math usually means subtract, you'll subtract 800 and 350. There is a 450 mL difference in the amount of pineapple and strawberry juice.
thank you so mutch
