Question 1007377: There are 2 vats of orange juice. After 10% of the orange juice in the first vat is poured into the second vat, the first vat has 3 times as much orange juice as the second vat.

Answer by josgarithmetic(39620) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x amount of juice in first vat, y amount of juice in second vat, to start.

The transfer process:
0.9x in first vat;
0.10x+y in second vat;

How much change in the second vat?

The comparison of the change to the original quantity of second vat

, as a fraction for the increase, and you would multiply by 100 to make this a percentage.

Any way to know the value?

Still the same amount of juice contained in the two vats as before the transfer process.

Substitute this into the fraction increase expression:

---------the FRACTION increase.
You can change this to percentage if you want.

The second vat increased in volume held, two and three-sevenths times.
