There is a few approach to find the result. We can add 1 + 2 +4=7 and make proportion
4 ------------------- 1139 (4 units in our ratio these are peach jouice bottles)
7 --------------------x (sum of unit in the ratio its x bottles)
crossmultiply
4x=7*1139
4x=7973 /:4
x=1993.25
There are 1993 botttls.
