AI explanation

With r equal to 8, the mixture before selling to W has 224 liters of juice and 53 liters of water, totaling 277 liters. Shopkeeper W is sold 95 liters, leaving 182 liters of mixture. To prepare the final mixture, adding 3r - 6 liters of juice equals 18 liters, and adding r liters of water equals 8 liters, which brings the final total T to 182 + 18 + 8 = 208 litres.
