You can put this solution on YOUR website!
p = pineapple juice
j = orange juice
s = soda
x = punch
2p+%2B+4j+%2B+6s+=+12x
x+=+%282p+%2B+4j+%2B+6s%29+%2F+12
12x+-+2x+=+10x This is the amount of punch left after
2 cups are removed
%2810%2F12%29%2A%282p+%2B+4j+%2B+6s%29+%2B+1%2Aj+%2B+1%2As This is The punch with 2 cups
removed , 1 cup of oj, and 1 cup of soda added
%285%2F3%29p+%2B+%2810%2F3%29j+%2B+%2815%2F3%29s+%2B+%283%2F3%29j+%2B+%283%2F3%29s+
%285%2F3%29p+%2B+%2813%2F3%29j+%2B+%2818%2F3%29s+
%2813%2F3%29+%2F+%28%285%2F3%29+%2B+%2813%2F3%29+%2B+%2818%2F3%29%29
13+%2F+%285+%2B+13+%2B+18%29
13%2F36 answer- the ratio of oj to punch you end up with
