1. Formulate an equation based on the total volume of juice

Let the capacity of a cup be xx ml.
The capacity of a bottle is (x+60)(x + 60) ml.
Since the container can fill either 35 bottles or 55 cups exactly, the total volume is the same:
55x=35(x+60)55x = 35(x + 60)

2. Solve the equation to find the capacity of a cup

55x=35x+210055x = 35x + 2100
55x−35x=210055x - 35x = 2100
20x=210020x = 2100
x=210020=105x = \frac{2100}{20} = 105

Answer

105105 ml
