One canned juice drink is 25% orange juice; another is 5% orange juice. How many liters of each should be mixed together in order to get 20L that is 14% orange juice?
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' represent the amount of 25% orange juice, then '20-x' represents the amount of 5% orange juice
the equation to represent the mixtures:
0.14(20) = 0.25x + 0.05(20-x)
-------------------------
-------------------------
x=9
20-9=11
9 liters of 25% orange juice should be mixed together with 11 liters of 5% orange juice in order to make 14% orange juice
