Tom is making a punch that contains 80% cranberry juice and the rest ginger ale. the punch has 2 liters of ginger ale. part a: write an equation using one variable that can be used to find the total number of liters of cranberry juice and ginger ale in the punch. define the variable used in the equation. hint: 0.8x represents the number of liters of cranberry juice in the punch. (5 points) part b: how many liters of cranberry juice are present in the punch? show your work. (5 points)

Given that Tom is making a punch that contains 80% cranberry juice and the rest ginger ale. The punch has 2 liters of ginger ale.

Part A:

Let the number of liters of cranberry juice be represented by = x

Then the total number of liters of the punch is given by

Now we have   (ginger ale is also added)

Solving this, we get

Further solving we get x = 2

So, the required equation with one variable is :

Part B.

From part A we have-

We will find x now, that is liters of cranberry added.

We have x = = 8

Hence, there is 8 liters of cranberry juice in the punch.

i can you answer this question sweetie!

step-by-step explanation:

first, we define the variables:

x: number of years after 1950

f (x): amount of vinyl sold.

then, with the variables defined, we have:

68594 vinyl records were sold in 1958 > f (8) = 68594

91299 vinyl records were sold in 1961 > f (11) = 91299

38720 vinyl records were sold in 1952 > f (2) = 38720

161743 vinyl records were sold in 1967 > f (17) = 161743
