The correct Answer is:
To find the content of the standard pack of mixed fruit juice, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the variables Let the content of the standard pack be \( x \) mL. ### Step 2: Understand the extra juice The special pack contains 15% extra juice compared to the standard pack. This means that the amount of juice in the special pack can be expressed as: \[ \text{Special Pack} = \text{Standard Pack} + 15\% \text{ of Standard Pack} \] This can be written mathematically as: \[ \text{Special Pack} = x + \frac{15}{100} \times x \] ### Step 3: Simplify the equation We can combine the terms on the right side: \[ \text{Special Pack} = x + 0.15x = 1.15x \] ### Step 4: Set up the equation According to the problem, the special pack contains 575 mL of juice. Therefore, we can set up the equation: \[ 1.15x = 575 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \( x \) To find \( x \), divide both sides of the equation by 1.15: \[ x = \frac{575}{1.15} \] ### Step 6: Calculate the value Now, we perform the division: \[ x = 500 \] ### Conclusion The content of the standard pack is \( 500 \) mL.
