    Step-by-step explanation:

    One part of concentrate is required for every 3 part of water for the juice serving

    Note that since the unit of the water and concentrate are the same, they will form 1+3 part of the orange juice

    1 can of concentrate + 3 cans of water = 4 can of orange juice

    Therefore

    Unknown quantity of concentrate + 3 (unknown quantity of water) = 4 (unknown quantity of water)

    Let x be the unknown

    Recall that we want to serve 200 6ounce of orange juice

    In total we need

    200 X 6 ounce = 1200 ounce of orange juice

    In order to get 1200 part of orange juice

    X + 3x = 1200

    4x = 1200

    X = 300

    300 ounce of concentrate is needed with 900 ounce of water to give 1200 ounce of orange juice

    However the concentrate is in 12 ounce can how many will be required to give us 300 ounce

    300/12 = 25 cans
