Steve is making punch for a party. the recipe requires twice as much orange juice as cranberry juice and 8 times as much ginger ale as cranberry juice. if he plans to make 176 ounces of punch, how much each ingredient should he use ?

Let the amount of orange juice is represented by x ounces, cranberry juice is represented by y ounces and ginger ale is represented by z ounces.

Since, the orange juice is twice the cranberry juice, we get

..... (1)

ginger ale is 8 times the cranberry juice.

... (2)

The total amount is given is 176 ounces

=>   .... (3)

Substituting the values of x and z in terms of y in equation 3.

Hence Orange juice = 2*16 = 32 ounce

Ginger Ale = 8*16 = 128 ounce

Cranberry juice = 16 ounce
