Question

Jill found a new fruit punch recipe that calls for orange juice and lemon-lime soda. If orange juice costs $3.60 per bottle and lemon-lime soda costs $1.80 per bottle and the recipe calls for 3 times as many bottles of lemon-lime soda as orange juice, at most how many bottles of orange juice can she buy if she only has $54.00?

Answer 1

Answer:

She can buy at most 6 bottles of orange juice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The recipe calls for 3 times as many bottles of lemon-lime soda as orange juice,

Let she buy x bottles of orange juice.

According to question: Lemon lime soda = 3x

Orange juice costs $3.60 per bottle and lemon-lime soda costs $1.80 per bottle. She only has $54.00

$3.60x+1.80(3x)=54$

$3.60x+5.4x=54$

$9x=54$

$x=6$

Hence, she can buy at most 6 bottles of orange juice.
