Alcohol (which costs $1/gallon). The batch of goo contains 8 gallons of these mixed ingredients and

costs $18. Furthermore, the batch of goo uses the same amount of Water and Cola. What is the

recipe for the goo (i.e. how many gallons of Water, Cola, and Alcohol are used)?

As a side note, it is possible to use a fraction of a gallon of an ingredient.
