Answer 1

Given that Tom is making a punch that contains 80% cranberry juice and the rest ginger ale. The punch has 2 liters of ginger ale.

Part A:
Let the number of litres of cranberry juice be x, then the total number of liters of the punch is given by x/0.8
Thus, x + 2 = x/0.8
0.8x + 1.6 = x
0.2x = 1.6

Therefore, the equation with one variable that can be used to find the total number of liters of canbelly juice and ginger ale in the punch is: 0.2x = 1.6, where x is the number of liters of canberry juice in the punch.

Part B.
Given from part A that the number of liters of canberry juice in the punch is given by 0.2x = 1.6, where x is the number of liters of canberry juice in the punch.

Therefore, the number of liters of canberry juice in the punch is x = 1.6 / 0.2 = 8 liters of canberry juice.
