One store, 1.2Q liters of apple cider
Second store, Q liters of apple cider

A sale rate is given for each store.
One store, 90 LITERS per HOUR;
Second store, 80 LITERS per HOUR.

A 2.5 hour time quantity of volume sales was described.

How much is at One store is 1.2Q-90%2A2.5 liters.
How much at second store, is Q-80%2A2.5 liters.

Second store HAD 65 liters less than One store in the time quantity described. highlight%28Q-80%2A2.5=-65%2B1.2Q-90%2A2.5%29.

If this equation makes sense, and you can see the path, understand the path to create it, then THAT is most of the problem solution. Just solve for Q.
