Question

Bruce has a bottle that contains 60% of lemon juice and the rest water. The bottle has 1 liter of water. PART A: Write an equation in one variable that can be used to find the total number of liters of lemon juice and water in the bottle. Define the variable used in the equation.Part B: How many liters of lemon juice are present in the bottle? Show your work.

Answer 1

Part A:
there is 60% of lemon juice in a 1 liter of water
so 60% *OF* the 1 liter
( of technically means * in mathematics)
so 
60% * 1 liter
or 0.6 * 1 liter
Now to find the total number of liters of lemon juice and water in the bottle
(0.6*1)+x= 1
(x being the amount of water)

Part B: We can calculate the number of liters of lemon juice that are present in the bottle
60% * 1
0.6 * 1
that is 0.6
So there is 0.6 liters of lemon juice in the bottle

Hope this helps :)
