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. (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 litres of cranberry juice be x, then the total number of liters of the punch is given by x/0.8
Thus, x + 2 = x/0.8
0.8x + 1.6 = x
0.2x = 1.6

Therefore, the equation with one variable that can be used to find the total number of liters of canbelly juice and ginger ale in the punch is: 0.2x = 1.6, where x is the number of liters of canberry juice in the punch.

Part B.
Given from part A that the number of liters of canberry juice in the punch is given by 0.2x = 1.6, where x is the number of liters of canberry juice in the punch.

Therefore, the number of liters of canberry juice in the punch is x = 1.6 / 0.2 = 8 liters of canberry juice.
