Answer:
20 big bottles
14000 ml
Step-by-step explanation:
Let :
Small bottles = x ; big bottles = y
Capacity of small bottle = 400ml
Capacity of big bottle = 600 ml
Edwina :
Number of small bottles = 5
Georgi :
Number of big bottles = 16
Since Numbe of bottles are siad to be the same :
5 + y = 16 + x
y - x = 16 - 5
y - x = 11
y = 11 + x - - - (1)
Total capacity of Edwina's bottle is 800 ml more Than Georgi's total :
Edwina :
5(400) + 600y
Georgi :
400x + 16(600)
2000 + 600y = 800 + 400x + 9600
2000 + 600y = 10400 + 400x
600y - 400x = 10400 - 2000
600y - 400x = 8400 - - - (2)
Substitute y = 11+x for y in (2)
600(11+x) - 400x = 8400
6600 + 600x - 400x = 8400
200x = 8400 - 6600
200x = 1800
x = 1800 / 200
x = 9
Number of big bottles Edwina has :
y = 11 + x
y = 11 + 9
y = 20
Total capacity of Edwina's bottles :
5(400) + 600y
2000 + 600(20) = 2000 + 12000 = 14000 ml
