Problema Solution

one canned drink is 25% juice, another is 5% juice. how many liters of each should be mixed to get 20L that is 12% juice?

Answer provided by our tutors

let


x = liters of the 25% juice drink

y = liters of the 5% juice drink


the mix is 20 L and 12% juice thus


0.25x + 0.05y = 0.12*20


x + y = 20


by solving the system of equations we find


x = 7 L


y = 13 L
