TheThe number of ounces of concentrate that were in the original container before any juice was made is 320 ounces and the number of juice that can be made using the whole container of concentrate is 1600 ounces.

Number of ounces

A. Let assume the two are linear relationship

Let y represent juice made

Let x represent the concentrate remaining

Hence:

Slope=600-200/200-280

Slope=400/-80

Slope=-5

y=-5x+b

Where:

x=200

y=-5(200)+b=600

y=-1000+b=600

b=1600

Thus,

y=-5x+1600

y=0.  -5x+1600=0

        -5x=-1600

divide both side by 5x

x=-1600/-5

x=320 ounces

B. x=0

y=1600 ounces

Therefore the number of ounces of concentrate that were in the original container before any juice was made is 320 ounces and the number of juice that can be made using the whole container of concentrate is 1600 ounces.
