Answer:

There are 8 liters of cranberry juice in the punch

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

We know that of the punch, 80% is cranberry juice.

Let's call Z the amount of cranberry juice and Y is the amount of ginger ale.

Let's call X the amount of Ponche

The amount of punch is equal to the amount of cranberry juice plus the amount of ginger ale

X = Z + Y (i)

Then we know that:

Z = 0.8X  (ii)

We also know that:

Y = 2 liters (iii)

Part B.

Now we can solve the equation:

Replace (ii) and (iii) in (i)

X = 0.8X + 2

X - 0.8X = 2

X(1-0.8) = 2

X = \frac{2}{1-0.8}

X = 10 liters.

Now we substitute X = 10 in equation (ii) and find the amount of Cranberry juice.

Z = 0.8(10)

Z = 8 liters.

There are 8 liters of cranberry juice in the punch
