Wendy had some orange juice. Each day, she drank an equal amount of orange juice. At the end of the second day, she had 1500 mℓ of orange juice left. At the end of the third day, she had 1100 mℓ of orange juice left.
- What was the amount of orange juice she drank each day?
- How much orange juice did Wendy have at first? Give your answer in litres and millilitres.
(a)
Volume of orange juice that Wendy drank each day
= 1500 - 1100
= 400 mℓ
(b)
Volume of orange juice that Wendy had at first
= 1500 + 400 x 2
= 1500 + 800
= 2300 mℓ
1000 mℓ = 1 ℓ
2300 mℓ = 2 ℓ 300 mℓ
Volume of orange juice that Wendy had at first = 2 ℓ 300 mℓ
Answer(s): (a) 400 mℓ; (b) 2 ℓ 300 mℓ
