Problema Solution
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 6% orange
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' represent the amount of 25% juice used, then '20-x' represents the amount of 5% juice used
0.06(20) = 0.25x + 0.05(20-x)
solving for 'x' we have x=1
20-1 = 19
1L of 25% juice should be combined with 19L of 5% juice
