Problema Solution
One type of gondola is 30% fruit another is 15 % fruit. What mass of each type of gondola is should be mixed to make 600g of gondola that is 21% fruit?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
x = the mass of the first gondola (with the 30% fruit)
y = the mass of the second gondola (with the 15% fruit)
x + y = 600
0.30x + 0.15y = 0.21*600
by solving the system of equations we find
x = 240 g
y = 360 g
