Nikki made 2 gallons of punch with
fruit juice and ginger ale. The
recipe requires 1 gallons of
ginger ale. What percent of the
total recipe is fruit juice?
A- 50%
B- 33 1/3%
C- 25%
D- 10%
I got 50% because u need 1/2 more but the answer is 25 please explain
U guys are dumb because 25% adding into the 1 1/2 equals to the answer that. Lol Jk. My bad!!!!!
Take it easy
To find the percentage of fruit juice in the punch, we need to determine the ratio of fruit juice to the total volume of the punch.
In this case, Nikki made 2 gallons of punch with fruit juice and ginger ale, and the recipe requires 1 gallon of ginger ale. Since the recipe requires 1 gallon of ginger ale, the remaining volume must be fruit juice.
To determine the volume of fruit juice, we subtract the volume of ginger ale from the total volume of the punch:
Total volume of punch = 2 gallons
Volume of ginger ale = 1 gallon
Volume of fruit juice = Total volume of punch - Volume of ginger ale
= 2 gallons - 1 gallon
= 1 gallon
Now, to find the percentage of fruit juice, we need to divide the volume of fruit juice by the total volume of the punch and multiply by 100:
Percentage of fruit juice = (Volume of fruit juice / Total volume of punch) * 100
= (1 gallon / 2 gallons) * 100
= 0.5 * 100
= 50%
So, based on the calculations, the correct answer is A - 50%.
It seems there might have been an error in the provided answer. The answer should be 50% instead of 25%.
So the punch contained 1 gal of fruit juice and
1 gal of ginger ale, for a total of 2 gallons
percentage of fruitjuice = 1/2 * 100% = 50%
I have no clue how they get 25%, did you check the wording of the problem?
