1 can conc + 3 can water = 4 can juice

Let x can of 12 Ounce conc. is reqd. to produce 200*6 ounce Juice

for 4 can juice = 1 can conc

200* 6 juice = 200*6/4 = 300 conc

300 can of conc.

x*12 = 300

x = 300/12 = 25

Hope this helps

this is a really easy question , but need to read very carefully

AS per the directions 1 can of con+ 3 can of water = juice

so 1/4 of the juice is con.

so its not hundred but 1/4th of it ----> 25

see what you do is you divide by 12 and you get 100 , but you forget that

that 100 is juice not con. con is only 1/4 of that
