1 can of concentrate + 3 cans of water = 4 cans total

You need 200 6oz servings or 100 12oz servings (100 12oz cans). set up your ratio 1/4 = x/100

1/4 = concentrate/total

x/100 = concentrate/total

cross multiply and you get 4x = 100 and x = 25

I guess the solution is similar to what i'd thought.. Ans should be A only.

ratio of concentrate and water is 1:3. total has to be 4.
to make 200, 6oz juice, or to make 1200 oz of juice, concentrate should be 300 or 25 cans of 12 oz each.

Total ounces required = 1200
Now, in this we have concentrate volume of 1/4 * 1200 = 300

Therefore number of 12 ounce cans required = 300/12 = 25

Ans = 25
