Let the cost of the lemonde per L   = C

Then, the cost of the juice per L   = 2C

 

And quantity * price per L   = total cost.....so we have

 

8C  + 1 (2C)  = 12

 

8C + 2C  = 12

 

10C  = 12      divide both sides by 10

 

C = 12/10 euros  = 1.2 euros.....this is the cost of each L  of lemonade

 

So.....the cost of each L  of juice is twice as much  =  2.4 euros

 

Check

 

8(1.2)  + 1(2.4)  =

 

9.6  + 2.4  =

 

12 euros

 

 

cool cool cool
