Question

A factory produces 3 bottles of sparkling water for every 8 bottles of plain water. How many bottles of sparkling water does the company produce when it produces 600 bottles of plain water?

B = 600P × (3S/8P)

= 225S

The company produces 225 bottles of sparkling water for every 600 bottles of plain water
