Question 1165981: You have 6 liters of pineapple juice blend that is 50% pineapple juice. If x is the amount of pineapple juice to be added, how many liters of pineapple juice needs to be added to make a juice blend that is 75% pineapple juice?

Answer by josgarithmetic(39618) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
6 liters of 50% pineapple juice
x liters of 100% pineapple juice
x+6 liters of resulting 75% pineapple juice

You will recognize that the 75% concentration is exactly in the middle of the two materials, so you want 6 liters of the 50% and 6 liters of the 100%.
x is 6.

You can have algebra for that if you want.
