A punch contains 60% of grape juice and the rest is lemon - lime soda ( 2 liters).
Part A:
An equation is:
0.6 x + 2 = x,
where x stays for the liters of punch.
Part B:
x - 0.6 x = 2
0.4 x = 2
x = 2 : 0.4
x = 5 liters
Grape juice = 5 - 2 = 3 liters.
Answer: There are 3 liters of grape juice in the punch.
