Answer to Problem 2E
The number of cartons of Fruit punch served is greater among the given drinks.
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
A cafeteria served a total of 660 cartons of three drinks together on a particular day. The drinks included milk, apple juice and fruit punch.
The quantity of apple juice was twice that of the milk and the quantity of fruit punch was three times the quantity of milk.
The quantity of drinks served during that day was 100 less than 80% of the usual quantity served.
In the given situation, the number of milk cartons served is unknown and the quantities of other drinks which are apple juice and fruit punch are a function of quantity of milk. Here, the apple is served as twice the quantity of milk and fruit punch is thrice that of milk. This implies that the drinks which is served in greater quantity among the three, is fruit punch.
Thus, number of cartons of fruit punch served is higher than the other two drinks.
