Kolten Caldwell · Answer 1

We have the following variable:

x = The amount of orange juice

We have the following equation:

x + ( * + 100) + 1/2 * = 1850

We clear x:

(5/2) x + 100 = 1850

(5/2) x = 1850 - 100

(5/2) x = 1750

x = 1750 / ((5/2))

x = 700 ml

pineapple juice = * + 100 = 700 + 100 = 800 mL

strawberry juice = 1/2 * = (1/2) 700 = 350 mL

The difference is:

800 - 350 = 450 mL

Answer:

The difference in the amounts of pineapple juice and strawberry juice martin combined was:

450 mL
