Problema Solution
Students at a refreshment stand mixed cranberry juice at 50 cents per liter and apple juice at 35 cents per liter to make 120 L of a fruit drink worth 40 cents. How much of each did they mix?
Answer provided by our tutors
0.5(x) + 0.35(120-x) = 0.4(120)
find x
0.5x + 0.35*120 - 0.35x = 48
x = 40 L
they mixed 40 L of cranberry juice and 80 liters of apple juice
