Answer: 1 Mark
Let the Fanta, Coca-Cola and Sprite bottles be 8x, 15x, 12x.
The total number of Fanta bottle is 120.
So, 8x = 120
x = 15
Then coca cola bottles =15×15=225
Sprite bottles =12×15=180.
So, the total number of bottle is 120 + 225 + 180 = 525.
Alternative Method:
Let 'x' be the total number of bottles.
Now, the bottles are in the ratio 8: 15: 12
The sum of these numbers = 8 + 15 + 12 = 35
The number of Fanta bottles = 120
Also number of Fanta bottles=835×x = 120
So, x=358×120=525
Hence the total number of bottles is 525.
