This item is taken from IGCSE Mathematics (0580) Paper 43 of May/June 2014.
To deal with this item, let us summarize the details of the problem:
(a) Syllabus area: Algebra
(b) Specific topic: Ratio and Proportion
Let us start with representing the given in different ways.
First, we could use a diagram to separate the proportion.
We can also use block model to represent the divisions/partitions.
Using the diagram and/or the block model, we can already find the missing quantity.
We can also use algebraic method in solving the problem:
Another method of finding the missing quantity is:
Therefore, there 20,346 bottles of orange juice sold.
