A company produces fruity drinks that contain a percentage of real fruit juice.
Drink A contains 20% real fruit juice and drink B contains 5% real fruit juice.
The company cross%28unadd%29 USES 56.6 liters of real fruit juice to make 80 more liters of drink B
than liters of Drink A.
Write a system of equations that could be used to determine
the number of liters drink A made and the number of liters drink B made .
Define the variables that you use to write the system

            I edited your post in order for it would make sense. 


Let "a" be the liters of the drink A and "b" be the liters of the drink B.


Then we have these two equations


    b - a = 80             (1)      (the given difference of volumes)

    0.2a + 0.05b = 56.6    (2)      (total real fruit juice).


This system of equations is what you request in your post.


Since you do not ask to solve, I stop at this point.
