Victoria had some orange juice. Each day, she drank an equal amount of orange juice. At the end of the seventh day, she had 1700 mℓ of orange juice left. At the end of the eighth day, she had 1000 mℓ of orange juice left.
- What was the amount of orange juice she drank each day?
- How much orange juice did Victoria have at first? Give your answer in litres and millilitres.
(a)
Volume of orange juice that Victoria drank each day
= 1700 - 1000
= 700 mℓ
(b)
Volume of orange juice that Victoria had at first
= 1700 + 700 x 7
= 1700 + 4900
= 6600 mℓ
1000 mℓ = 1 ℓ
6600 mℓ = 6 ℓ 600 mℓ
Volume of orange juice that Victoria had at first = 6 ℓ 600 mℓ
Answer(s): (a) 700 mℓ; (b) 6 ℓ 600 mℓ
