For this item, we may let x be the number or liters of apple juice present in the ginger ale. The total volume of the punch then becomes
total volume = 2 + x
Then, considering that 75% of this is apple juice,
x/(2 + x) = 0.75
x = 0.75(2 + x) = 1.5 + 0.75x
x = 1.5 + 0.75x
Also, for this item, the vaue of x is equal to 6 liters.
The answer is that she had 48. Set it up as an equation with x as the amount of money she started with. x - 30 = 3/8x. That says, in words, "the amount of money she started with minus 30 for the dress left her with 3/8 of the money she started with. Solve for x by adding 30 to both sides and subtracting 3/8 from 8/8x (8/8 = 1). 8/8 - 3/8 = 5/8, so 5/8x = 30, multiply both sides by 8 to get 5x=240 and x = 48.
