Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of ounces of cranberry juice into a punch bowl = 12 ounces

According to question, he uses a container to add sparkling water to the bowl one ounce at a time.

Let the amount of sparkling water added to the bowl be 'x'

Let the total number of ounces of liquid Marcus will have be 'y'.

So, our equation becomes,

Here, we have asked after adding 8 containers of sparkling water .

So, now, our equation becomes,

Hence, there is 20 ounces of liquid in the bowl after adding 8 containers of sparkling water.
