Answer provided by our tutors
let
x = liters of the 25% orange juice
y = liters of the 10% orange juice
we mix x and y to obtain 15L of 17% orange juice thus
x + y = 15
0.25x + 0.10y=0.17*15
by solving the system of equations
x + y = 15
0.25x + 0.1y= 2.55

x = 7L
y = 8L
we need to mix 7 liters of 25% orange juice and 8 liters of 10% orange juice in order to get 15L that is 17% orange juice.
