Since the can has only orange juice and water and the orange juice part is 80%, that means the water part must be 20%.

I know that much. But idk how to right the equation to find the amount of liters of orange juice.

BrunotheRAT · Answer

0.8x + 0.2x = 1, 0.8 being orange juice, 0.2 being water.
80 percent of one is 0.8, converted into ml, which is x1000, there is 800ml of orange juice in the can
