5 p |
3 p |
2 p |
Volume of orange juice that Diana had in the end
= 1 u + 1840 - 570
= 1 u + 1270
Difference in the volume of orange juice between Diana and Raeann in the end
= 5 p - 3 p
= 2 p
2 p = 1270 - 570
2 p = 700
1 p = 700 ÷ 2 = 350
Volume of orange juice that Diana had at first
= 5 p + 570
= 5 x 350 + 570
= 1750 + 570
= 2320 mℓ
Answer(s): 2320 mℓ
