There are 8 liters of cranberry juice in the punch

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

We know that of the punch, 80% is cranberry juice.

Let's call Z the amount of cranberry juice and Y is the amount of ginger ale.

Let's call X the amount of Ponche

The amount of punch is equal to the amount of cranberry juice plus the amount of ginger ale

(i)

Then we know that:

 (ii)

We also know that:

liters (iii)

Part B.

Now we can solve the equation:

Replace (ii) and (iii) in (i)

X = 10 liters.

Now we substitute X = 10 in equation (ii) and find the amount of Cranberry juice.

Z = 8 liters.

There are 8 liters of cranberry juice in the punch
