C Correct answer
Explanation

Receptacle is 75% full. The remaining 25% is 90 mL, so total capacity is 360 mL. The 75% filled portion is 270 mL. This 270 mL is 50% orange juice, so 0.5 * 270 = 135 mL.

AI explanation

Since 75% of the receptacle is filled before adding the lemonade, the 90 mL of lemonade represents the remaining 25% of the capacity. This means the total capacity of the receptacle is 360 mL. The initial 270 mL of liquid contains 50% orange juice, so the amount of orange juice is 135 mL.
