100.

This is a Gmat prep question. I dont know how to attach wrong answers in gmat prep to this forum. Please help


\frac{concentrate}{juice}=\frac{1}{4}, as 1 part of concentrate is to be mixed with 3 parts of water to get 4 parts of juice;

200 6-ounce of orange juice = 100 12-ounce of orange juice;

As 1/4 th 100 12-ounce of orange juice must be concentrate --> 100*1/4=25 12-ounce of cans of concentrate are required.

Answer: A.

a)25
b)34
c)50
d)67
e)100


We need concentrate:water in 1:3 ratio.

We need to prepare 200 x 6-ounce servings or 1200 ounces
Let there be x ounces of concentrate and hence 3x ounces of water

x+3x=1200 , so x=300 ounces

How many cans ? 300/12 = 25

Answer is (A)

I'm surprised I got this right...here's how I approached this.
X can concentrate : 3X can water is given as the ratio
200 cans of 6 oz each = 1200 oz total fluid.

x+3x = 1200
Therefore x=300 oz of orange juice concentrate
Now we are asked how many 12 oz cans of concentrate are required. From 300, 12 goes 25 times so the answer is A

The total volume is -> 200 * 6 = 1200 ounces

1 ounce can results in 4 ounces of juice

So 1 12 ounce can extract can result in 4 * 12 = 48 ounces of juice

Hence 1200 ounces can be obtained from 1200/48 cans = 25 cans

So the answer is (A).

200 6oz cans = 100 12oz cans

ratio of cans to make orange ---> 1(orange):3(water):4(total)

For 100 servings we would need to multiply the total number of cans by 25. Therefore, 1x25 cans of orange would be needed for 200 6oz servings of OJ

1c+3w = 4 cans of juice.

For 200 6oz juice you need 150 part of water and 50 cans of 6oz concentrate.

50/2= 25 12oz cans of concentrate.

concentrate : water = 1:3

To produce 200 6 ounce serving , we need 100 12 ounce cans.

Now , # of concentrate can in 100 = 1/4 * 100 = 25
