so, 3x+4x+2x = 45981

9x = 45981

x = 45981/9

x = 5109

Answer 2

Answer:

let the numbers of bottle be x

Therefore,

the number of bottles of aaple juice will be 3x

the number of bottles of orange juice will be 4x

the number of bottles of cherry juice will be 2x

Total number of bottles of juice sold = 45981

3x+4x+2x = 45981

9x = 45981

x = 45981/9

x = 5109

So, number of bottles of orange juice sold = 4x

= 4 x 5109

= 20436
