What have you done so far?

Part A: 0.55 liters of pineapple juice is left in the jar because she poured 0.75 liters into the jar, the she drank 0.20 liters. So 0.75 - 0.20 = 0.55. 

I don't think it's right though.

Identify which property is used in each step to solve the expression.

(original amount of juice + added juice) - juice that was drank = juice left in the jar
0.25 + 0.3 + 0.75 - 0.2 = the answer
