let the pear juice bottles be 3X

cherry juice bottles be 1x and the apple juice bottles be 3x...

cherry juice bottles are 16 and the ratio is 1...

soo here the value of x will be 16...

pear juice bottles=3x

=48

cherry juice bottles=16

apple juice bottles=3×16

=48

total bottles =48+16+48

=112 bottles
