If the ratio of the number of bottles of apple juice to the number of bottles of orange juice was 3:2, then you can denote 3x - the number of bottles of apple juice and 2x - the number of bottles of orange juice.

After he sold 64 bottles of apple juice, the number of bottles of apple juice became 3x-64 and the number of bottles of orange juice remained 2x.

The new ratio is 1:6, this means that

[tex]\dfrac{3x-64}{2x}=\dfrac{1}{6}.[/tex]

Solve this equation:

[tex](3x-64)\cdot 6=2x\cdot 1,\\18x-384=2x,\\18x-2x=384,\\16x=384,\\ \\x=\dfrac{384}{16}=24.[/tex]

In the end Mr. Young had:

  • [tex]3x-64=3\cdot 24-64=8[/tex] bottles of apple juce;
  • [tex]2x=2\cdot 24=48[/tex] bottles of orange juice.
