Once canned juice is 15% orange juice, another is 5% orange juice. How many liters of each should be mixed together in order to get 10 Liters that is 11% orange juice?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
x = liters of the 15% orange juice
y = liters of the 5% orange juice
we need to make 10 Liters that is 11% orange juice:
x + y = 10
0.15x + 0.05y = 0.11*10
by solving the above system of equations we find:
x = 6 L
y = 4 L
click here to see the step by step solution of the system of equations:
6 liters of the 15% orange juice and 4 liters of the 5% orange juice should be mixed.
