Question 590731: There are three different flavors of juice in a cooler.There is the same number of bottles of apple juice as grapefruit juice. There are four more bottles of orange juice than the other kinds combined. How many bottles of orange juice are there in the cooler?

Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
T = total number of bottles in the cooler.
x = number of bottles of grapefruit juice.
x = number of bottles of apple juice.
2x + 4 = number of bottles of orange juice.
T = x + x + 2x + 4
combine like terms to get:
T = 4x + 4
number of bottle of orange juice is equal to 4x + 4 - 2x
the number of bottles of orange juice is equal to 2x + 4.
you don't have enough information to narrow it down better than that.
you either need to know the total number of bottles or the number of bottles of apple or graph juice.
