One canned juice drink is 30% orange juice, another is 5% orange juice. How many liters of each should be mixed together I order to get 25L that is 28% orange juice?

Answer provided by our tutors

let


x = L of the 5% orange juice

y = L of the 30% orange juice


the mix is 25 L of 28% orange juice


x + y = 25


0.05x + 0.30y = 0.28*25


by solving the system we find


x = 2 L


y = 23 L
