Hi!

Since each can of frozen orange juice gets mixed with 3 cans of water, we know that 1 can of concentrated OJ makes:

12oz + 3*12oz = 12oz + 36oz = 48oz of orange juice.

We want a total of 200*6oz = 1200oz of orange juice.

So, to find the number of cans we need, we simply divide the total volume of OJ by the volume created per can:

1200oz/(48oz/can) = (1200/48) cans = 100/4 cans = 25 cans

Choose (A)!
