A jar contains 0.25 liter of apple juice and 0.30 liter of grape juice. Melissa poured 0.75 liter of pineapple juice into the jar. She then drank 0.20 liter of the mixture. Part A: Write an expression to represent the total amount of juice left in the jar. (5 points) Part B: Simplify the expression and identify which property is used in each step. (5 points)​

Answer 1

Answer: Part A: 1.10 liter

Total amount of juice left = 0.25 + 0.30 + 0.75 - 0.20

Step-by-step explanation:

(original amount of juice + added juice) - juice that was drank = juice left in the jar

(0.25 + 0.30 + 0.75) - 0.20 =

1.30 - 0.20 =

1.10 left in jar
