Answer:
20 cups of punch
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we know that
If Elise adds 5 percent of each of the other ingredients
then
the new percentages are
Ginger Ale=40%+5%=45%
Orange Juice=25%+5%=30%
Pineapple Juice=20%+5%=25%
Sorbet=0%
Find out how many cups of punch will she have if she uses 6 cups of orange juice, using proportion
Let
x ----> the total cups of punch
[tex]\frac{6}{30\%}=\frac{x}{100\%}\\\\x=6(100)/30\\\\x=20\ cups\ of\ punch[/tex]
