How many liters of the 20% orange juice should be in the mixture?
How many liters of the 5% orange juice should be in the mixture?
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' represent the liters of 20% juice, then '15-x' represents the liters of 5% juice
0.10(15) = 0.20x + 0.05(15-x)
solving for 'x' we have x=5
15-5=10
5 liters of 20% juice should be mixed with 10 liters of 5% juice
