The correct Answer is:
To find the content of the standard pack of mixed fruit juice, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Problem**: We know that the special pack contains 20% extra juice compared to the standard pack. The special pack has a total of 660 mL of juice. 2. **Define the Standard Pack Volume**: Let the volume of the standard pack be \( x \) mL. 3. **Set Up the Equation**: Since the special pack contains 20% more juice than the standard pack, we can express this mathematically: \[ \text{Standard Pack} + \text{20% of Standard Pack} = \text{Special Pack} \] This can be written as: \[ x + 0.2x = 660 \] or equivalently, \[ x + \frac{1}{5}x = 660 \] 4. **Combine Like Terms**: Combine the terms on the left side: \[ \frac{5}{5}x + \frac{1}{5}x = 660 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{6}{5}x = 660 \] 5. **Solve for \( x \)**: To isolate \( x \), multiply both sides by \( \frac{5}{6} \): \[ x = 660 \times \frac{5}{6} \] 6. **Calculate the Value**: Perform the multiplication: \[ x = 660 \div 6 \times 5 = 110 \times 5 = 550 \] 7. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the content of the standard pack is: \[ \boxed{550 \text{ mL}} \]
